User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-737801-20111020200924

I have posted this elsewhere, but I'm reposting this here in hopes that this idiotic feature will go the way of the dodo bird.

I was finally forced to this completely idiotic feature on the AC wiki, and I again state that I'm appalled at this system. User talk pages NO LONGER EXIST WITH THIS SYSTEM. The whole system there looked completely ridiculous and I have to say that I'm now seriously considering leaving Wikia if this is forced down our throats. User talk pages now look like Facebook and there is no way that anyone can say they don't. They make things look like blogs and a SOCIAL NETWORK NOT A WIKI.

Staff members the supposed "limitations" of talk pages are only in your heads, and I encourage you to actually listen this time and either make this feature optional, or making it a part of user spaces ALONG WITH TALK PAGES. However, my personal favorite is to make this entire thing go the way of the dodo bird. This system I'm beyond convinced robs us of one of our best tools for communicating, and this system can't even begin to come close to replacing it in any sense of the word. This isn't remotely a quality replacement, it's a half-baked system that attempts to fill the role of a page that has so many uses and now forces us to use it for just one thing, leaving social messages, not quality messages.

I'm no longer using a user talk page, I'm using a blog and blogs aren't for this purpose. I want to keep my talk page so do the sensible thing, either make this optional, or make it an addition to a talk page, with the first option being preferred. Please don’t force this down our throats like you have so many other things recently. You have article comments optional, so you can certainly make this optional as well by wiki.
