User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Results From Wikia's Communications Survey/@comment-954127-20111017120210

I can honestly say, I believe the poll results. However, the results are eye opening to some of the wikia helpers, and until now they have failed to see the disconnect they are making.

Sarah Manley, you know I love editing at Wikia, as you've seen by my blogs, and contribution numbers. Let me try to level it a bit, " learn about new features via a sitewide message "...Blogs and going to community central period does not make sense to a fan of a show/movie. It just doesn't. People don't care about the Wikia company like we do, they care about the content. This has always been true, and always will. Sitewide messages about new features 2 weeks in advance is actually a logical answer. I was one of the many that answered that.

Wikia needs to learn who they are catering to, and the poll was a good start. I for one don't like some of the recent ads introduced on larger/active wikis. Wikia needs there promotions more based on the wikis they promote on. When my wiki has a ad for amazon or ebay, I have been clicking it, so maybe you'll would start to understand that those ads work. Heck, I go to both sites at least once a week. Why you choose to sell promotions to half baked comedies on Ghostbusters Wiki is beyond me.

And in short, I think you should be asking people what products and services we use/like. That to me would make sense, so the ads fit the wikis. Sorry if I come off ranting Sarah, you know I care.
