User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-1158367-20101001053957

I'm sorry but I am not convinced. The width what you decided to use is perfect for only social sites or websites because they always use many images and little text. But we use wikis and it is necessary that all the unused space can be used for the articles. I also agree with what LordTBT said. Who cares who mounted the image, it makes no sense. The sidebar takes up too much space nonsense too. And last but not least, the top bar has limits (this doesn't happen with the Monaco sidebar).

I keep up with my position: Wikia will be for Wikia, what Vista was for Microsoft.

Why? Simple:

When was released Windows Vista, was criticized and hated (besides insulting Microsoft in all languages). Several users decided to stay with XP, and who tried to run Vista, comes back to XP again, or he moved to Mac or Ubuntu.

Now same thing is happening with Oasis / Wikia. It was and is criticized and hated (not to mention the insults to Wikia) by the users. And like you're going to kill Monaco and Monobook is only for the Uncylopedia's Family, some users have no choice but to seek a new home to their wikis outside of Wikia.

Please. If the skin isn't better than Monaco, don't deserves the release.

The change is good, but only if it's better than the last.
