M1Shawhand, we are happy to hear you think we have “an edge” :) We plan to remain a unique environment, and we believe this redesign will make it easier for more users to join and contribute to Wikia -- and therefore be a more welcoming environment. We’re definitely going to continue to allow and encourage theme customization so the community feels it is “their own”. We are really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
