@AStranger195   It's quite difficult for one to simply leave wikia when the wiki they are passionate about is hosted by Wikia.

I'm pretty sure I once wanted to put a sitenotice on Oasis but was told it was against the ToU.

Dunno about whether they deserve whitelisting absolutely - that's why I'm gonna also highlight making an account. I remember roaming Wikia without a login (specifically Narutopedia) for years as an anon - and I suffer with a horrible ISP so loading times were quite painful upon entering the site). Have you tried disabling Flash on Wikia if your computer is a potato? If you do that, it's better than blocking every single ad and less absolute as well. Videos will use HTML5 if necessary.

PS: It makes sense that most people are anonymous for privacy reasons, a one-time perusal or legitimate technical issues with making an account. That I'm cool with - I just want other regular readers to login and hopefully ease them into what is actually the least-demanding usage of the Wikia site for the browser's memory or CPU hog (specifically logging in and whitelisting).
