@3cooldog92: Oh, yeah, I was gonna comment on Wikia's spin, but I forgot to bother. I, too, think that it is a highly dubious excuse. I do hope they are being honest here, because sending an email is such a basic feature of the internet. Surely EmailUser would use the exact same script as Special:Contact. You can send email using PHP for crying out loud! All software used is likely to be 3rd party stuff, which means the bug fixing shouldn't even be performed by Wikia. I doubt it, right, but Wikia may have had to write their own recipe for keeping the recipient's email secret, but I find that unlikely &mdash; or at least the idea those few lines of code could be so troublesome. I'd accept Wikia closing down EmailUser because of too many emails much easier. Or that Wikia just doesn't want to run one of their SMTP servers anymore.

In defense of Wikia, I don't really understand what I'm talking about, and what I'm insinuating is something Wikia has not been guilty of in my time here. That doesn't mean Wikia cannot start treating us like idiots like most other companies do...
