User blog comment:Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia/@comment-1211092-20100821222728

I'm back to say I'm sorry about being so harsh in my previous comment. Why am I not deleting it, then? Well, it happens I still stand by it. I read the news and I was constantly enraged. I think it's a good think Wikia knows of the users they enrage.

And I know just as well as they'll know I probably won't move my wiki. 2800+ articles are too much weight to move, even if we got our own Wikimedia server so we could export the database. They have us locked by the weight of our contributions. But it still makes me feel disheartened: Working so hard for nothing, it seems. My perception of Wikia is getting lower and lower every change it's imposed upon us without being necessary.

If my feedback isn't heard, if my demands are not met (not that I'm asking for much, just for them to freakin' LET US BE!!) I'm afraid I'll just have to fight fire with fire, so to speak, and hit Wikia with the only weapon I have at my disposal: information, and the community behind me. I am the wiki manager of my community. I'll instruct them to install AdBlocker, thus depriving Wikia of their reason to change layout every year so they can insert an ever-increasing amount of ads. And don't let me get started on those flashy, animated, video ads with SOUND... *shudders*.

It's a small power the one I have... but all of you could do the same. The enraged, the disappointed, the ones who are going to work extra hours just to recover the look of your wiki they're stealing from you. Remember: they only earn money because WE attract traffic to them. Hear the voice, Wikia.
