You know, this is all rather ironic. the staff moved from the original skin to Monaco skin with A LOT of people angry about it.

Now they claim that the Monaco skin is to expensive, and we have to change to another skin instead. Once again, the community is angry, and they are not listening.

So what would have happened if the staff would have listened to the community in the first place? We would still have the original skin instead of "costly" Monaco.

This is why it is important that the staff stop ignoring the community, and stop betraying the core values of what a wiki is supposed to be: a community of people working together.

Guaranteed the next skin, they will trot out the same weak excuses for change. Instead of reevaluating their arrogance in creating Monaco in the first place, the staff is pushing ahead with yet another skin. So pathetic.

Why not just go back to the original skin? Instead of spending thousands and thousands of dollars on an untested skin that the community by and large hates. How much is it costing to create this new skin?
