	The wiki staff and contributors decided on the name change to reduce confusion in regard to the old host. In the first 48 hours after the official move on [[September 14\|September 14th]], the out-of-date site, still hosted on Wikia’s servers, quickly fell behind TFWIKI.NET in terms of the quality and frequency of updated information. TFWIKI.NET is not concerned about potential confusion with Wikia, Inc.’s archived version of the old wiki. ~~“The~~ content, the contributors and the fans have all moved to the new server. If you were to compare the experience of reading TFWIKI.NET to reading Teletraan-1 prior to the move, you would see that the experience is identical,” regular contributor [[User:M Sipher\|Greg Sepelak]] said shortly after the official move on September 14.
