User blog comment:Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia/@comment-138159-20100822100615

No one can judge how a wiki would look from a single screenshot, particularly one that has been carefully constructed to look enticing. The question is, how would this skin look on typical articles on typical wikis, rather than on a page designed to promote the skin? We can see that 44% of the window is dedicated to content, and 56% is dedicated to nonsense (a large bar at the top to discourage readers from looking at this wiki, and a gigantic sidebar with trivia, and a floating bar at the bottom – omfg). If this is compulsory and as bad it looks, I'm abandoning Wikia.
