User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-26744861-20110928134043

I know it's been said before and I'm not hesitant to say it again...

Over 100 users don't want to see this feature at all. If the message wall does come into force then I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if a large percentage of those users left Wikia completely.

For Wikia: less users = less traffic = less advertising revenue. The community has been patient with and loyal to Wikia for a very long time and it's obvious that this is being forced upon us without even asking what we think of the message wall before telling us that it's becoming mandatory within the next month.

If I were in the position of a Wikia staff member right now, I'd listen to the community and not bring in this feature at all. Wikia is not a social network and it should never go down that path. Wikia, the choice is obviously yours but bear in mind that if you go through with turning talk pages into a message wall, you could be losing an awful lot that matters to you.
