User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-3134090-20101001221820

Sorry Susan, but I'm not going to believe a single word of what you say. You say you want to help us to make our wikis amazing, yet your completely destroy the ability to customize them. No, the Theme Designer with its "choose a preset and the colours for five options" is not a proper replacement.

And the sidebar? Lots of wikis (including three of mine) rely on a properly organized, easy to use sidebar for navigation. By forcing the New Look on us you ruin the entire navigation system for many wikis.

"We understand change is hard" - then why the hell force a revolution instead of a gradual evolution? If you really understood the community, you'd take the hint that the community does not want this skin. Or hell, maybe even collaborated with the community in creating a new skin, instead of behaving like every other money-hungry corporation.

Because that's all it's about, isn't it Susan? Money. Money for Wikia comes from content and the more control Wikia has over its content, the more money comes their way.

Good job at taking the Community out of Wikia. Really, good game.
