User blog comment:TheMG/To the people complaining about the new look/@comment-1041198-20101030142109

I have been a user of wikia for quite some time and have always loved it. I will continue to use it, I guess I'll just have to get used to this new look. So, what I am trying to say first is I thank wikia for existing, for wikia people working on this project and making it possible for us all to us it and edit it.

But, I must add, in all honesty, this change is a horrible, horrible mistake and for quite a few reasons. Changing a skin is one thing but changing the whole look and taking away the left side of the page thus completely changing the way the page is used, while leaving two wide blue-coloured lines at each side as a frame, it's just a waste and much less user-friendly. And, it is obviously facebook-bound, which, for all of us who have never wanted to use Facebook, Twitter, Myspace or any other of those stupid pages, is a double disappointment.

I hope you will listen to your users. Remember how Yahoo wanted to radically change their first page? They got so much negative feedback that they finally decided against it. I would advise you to seriously rethink this move or at least give an option for users to use 'the old version' and 'the new version', many pages have such options and that way you will also easily see stats on how many people prefer the old version opposite the new one.

Again, I do thank you for all your hard work and I sincerely appreciate wikia being around, but this move has been a very poor decision.
