The GuildWiki is non-commercial
This is not a matter of concensus, really. The license makes it clear that no-one is able to profit from this except to keep the servers active. That means ''no personal gain.'

Phil (Gravewit) is entitled to recoup his financial losses hosting the GuildWiki
While the GuildWiki is not a commercial entity, it is not a charity either. Gravewit is entitled to recover all money he has lost hosting this site. This includes lost income from his time commitment. There is nothing illegal about running ads per se, or selling the Guildwiki to Wikia per se, as long as Gravewit simply recovers his losses.

Phil (Gravewit) or Wikia should come clean on the GuildWiki's finances
Much of the apparent community outrage stems from Gravewit's secrecy about the monies involved. Gravewit or Wikia should publicly declare the GuildWiki's valuation to end the rampant speculation on how much Gravewit has personally profited from the transfer.
