Moving from Wikipedia to wikia?

I have been a wikipedian since 2007, but I am getting discouraged. My main complaint is the rate at which the articles, both those I created and those I added content to, are being deleted from Wikipedia.

Someone suggested I move material to Wikia.com – is this a good idea? How much new learning is involved?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

    I'm an admin on en-wiki, but I'm not as active as I used to be. My main discouragement was the way sockpuppetry issues were being handled, as well as the general bureaucracy associated with it. Wikia wikis are much more specific, and are much easier to become an admin on. It is a more laid back enviorment with less bureaucracy. Good luck!
