I wouldn't be concerned about Wikia.com not featuring direct community promotions like it used to. The reason we're not is because no one really went to Wikia.com before - the traffic just wasn't there. It's not how readers were discovering communities. So by changing Wikia.com, we didn't actually lose anything. We only have something to gain, and that's really exciting for us.

Now, we have great editorial content that will promote communities by linking back to them, talking about favorite fandoms, and bringing the power of Wikia's superfans to the forefront. That's going to be much better for communities than the old homepage.
