@LurkerLordB: I think Oasis just fits better with all of the social networking features Wikia's been pushing this summer, but that's just my opinion. The only reason I brought up the new skin was to remind Wikia staff that even for that change, users had a personal option to opt out (by using Monobook) if they didn't want to use the new skin. Message Wall, on the other hand, is planned to be completely mandatory.
