Forum:We decide NOT to move off wikia.com because of new Wikia skin

It seems that despite the beta testers and the oodles of comments left concerning the change, Wikia is still going ahead with their change in look.

Check out Important Updates on Wikia's New Look to find out more information. See Experience the new Wikia to find links to experience the new wikia.

This skin means the Monaco and Monobook skins will no longer be supported.

An alternative has been suggested to me the Anti-Wiki Alliance and their alternatives. This would involve moving this wiki to another --Tangerineduel 15:09, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * On this issue I have commented on the staff blogs about issues concerning their new look. However, I'm divided on moving this wiki, there comes a certain amount of credulity in being under the wikia.com banner. Wikia.com is also for the most part a stable framework, with staff who are generally prompt to respond to issues that have arisen in the past and with other issues within the wiki's structure and framework.
 * This wiki is also about triple the size of the largest wiki listed on the Anti-Wiki Alliance's page that is making the move (the Simpsons wiki is about 6,000 content pages, compared to our 18,000 content pages).
 * While there are several issue with wikia's new skin, I believe they're workable and adaptable (or at the very least ignorable).
 * I think the new look is questionable, but I have serious issues with moving the wiki I don't think it's the best way forward for this wiki to move hosts. --Tangerineduel 15:09, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
