Communism belongs to the next sentence, dear Tigernose. I'm sorry if you couldn't follow my thoughts. If you could look behind things (not just seeing the surface of them), you'd understand. I mean communism in the way as they try to make every wiki equal. If you would have lived in Hungary (where I live), you'd have felt communism on your own skin. When the communist "governments" tried to make everything equal, give people equal amounts of the goods, those who were much more hard-working, lost their agility to work, because they saw that they get the same payment as those, who work much less than they do. I know, maybe I've gone to far, but (as I've already mentioned) if you could look behind things, you'd see this brand new look tries to lower the difference between wikis with simple white+green/blue/yellow/red skins and wikis with a well-designed (which takes a lot of time) look. For example look at the Twilight Saga Wiki ( http://twilightsaga.wikia.com ). In Monaco it has one of the best designs on the whole wikia network. But in this "new look" it's like... nothing special. Or simply imagine how the Creative Writing Wiki ( http://creativewriting.wikia.com ) will look in this new skin, and how much work of their admins and designers will vanish! I understand if it's too hard to imagine, because You, Tigernose ... i don't really think you had to work so much with e.g. Quake Live Wiki's skin... it's only some colours thrown together... but try to think with other admin's head as well, and then you'll see what I'm talking about. Dictatorship is also a very good word, to describe this situation.
