In January 2011 Lbstone was still owner of the URL but already had negociated the sale of the URL without informing anyone else of the wiki project community before he got the money. This was a seriuous communication fault. Wikia company, the commercial arm of Jimmy Wales' wiki businesses (Isn't the Wikimedia Foundation, officially Wales' noncommercial wiki business, commercially successful as richly funded organization, a commercial arm too?) bought the URL and made out of it a plain redirect to its camerapedia copy camerapedia.wikia.com .
