'''ArmchairGM''' is a fan-based sports community originally built on a heavily customized {{tag|MediaWiki}} (Wikipedia) engine that combines blogs, news, and voting, with the power of a sports-wiki. ArmchairGM was bought by {{tag|Wikia}} in December 2006 for $2 million.

Somewhere between 8 August 2010 and 10 February 2011, ArmchairGM was migrated from its own codebase into the standard Wikia codebase and Wikia's Oasis skin. During this migration, a lot of the site's original content was lost, in addition to many features which were unique to ArmchairGM back in the day.
