I find it amusing that this inherently imperfect poll was posted in a now-hostile comments section - to the rebranding, its proponents and the neutrals. I was summoned by this "interesting" take on the poll, but I long gave up on reading this seeing as staff are even getting coerced not to comment and address concerns. The change in comment tone of late and drop in commenting users or frequency suggests an unrepresentative sample.

I was strongly surprised to see this announcement - I thought it was a decent idea despite needing effort to ensure wiki communities don't shrink in the ever-expanding picture. This behaviour from the userbase does not surprise me however. I've seen it all before and its basically a machine for less useful statistics (often also based on unsubstantiated association between aspects of Wikia's latest developments).

There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

Besides, I'm pretty sure the majority is past it as per the initial reaction - I don't get "who won" should fill our boots. The move could either be bad or good in my honest opinion.

To be fair, I don't think it reflects well on me if I don't interact here, or on other neutral (i.e. don't care) and positive people when they do the same - we should continue commenting to provide balance and ensure the comment section offers a variety of opinions. Well, for those who do care but aren't commenting.
