not only has jet started deliberately ignoring any message that I leave her, she seems in particular cavalier now. i already said that i am done here but what isn't acceptable behavior is jet not giving credit where its due. not only are you unable to create your own ideas, you have resorted to start stealing ideas. really nice to know. Seriously? We didn't take anything, we are proposing an idea from a separate wiki that works there, that just so happens to involve the removal of "Off-brand" and "Super Soaker" from some article titles. We have problems with REAL doing it because it was direct info stolen info from wiki to wiki, which is unacceptable. Templates are free to be shared as they are just that, templates, however I have major complaints when paragraphs of info are directly taken. It's on a completely different spectrum. What exactly was the idea of yours that was taken, to have the portals transition depending on the click of a button? Was it your idea to add badges on the articles as well? i'm not going to waste further of my energy explaining this. like i said in my email, you guys took my ideas from the failed full merge attempt and then asked again with a few modifications without giving credit. these ideas are straight from the merge discussion along with me directing both of you to another wiki. that does not include the badges, this is another reason why i stopped chatting about what i plan to do or have ready. we actually did have confidential chats which you violated, those involved the new portal system.

the only reason you are free to reuse templates from wikia hosted wikis is because wikia is under the CC-BY-SA license which allows reuse, other more restrictive licenses do not.

you can go complain to wikia over stealing and you will get a response similar to the following if not exactly as written: "wikis are free to use information from others as long as credit is given, have you tried to contact the founder or local staff team over this issue?";.
