Well, in the specific case of Wikia, I have three main objections. One is that Wikia sites are ass-ugly. Another (something of a corollary to the first) is their externally generated ads, the potential for third-party abuse of which we have recently seen.

The big one, though, is that they require all content published on one of their wikis to be published under the GDFL, and that's a one-way trap door I simply don't want to step on. I've seen people who started Wikia wikis lose control of them completely.

Besides, a UF wiki would violate their TOS:

Any content you upload or post to any Wikia, Inc. wiki must be compatible with the relevant license (for example, the GFDL for any Wikia, or the relevant CC license for other wikis), not violate another person's intellectual property or infringe on any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights.

Do I want to go down that rabbit hole on a commercial website administered by other people whom I do not know? No, no I do not.
