The old system (aka IPv4) and the new system (aka IPv6) are Internet infrastructure standards, not FANDOM specific. It's not that something was "wrong" with the old system, but we turned on capabilities that address the larger modern Internet (which is running out of IPv4 addresses, by the way). With the new system, it allows every grain of sand on the planet to have an address. That's worth the inconvenience.
