User blog comment:Sannse/Important Updates on Wikia’s New Look/@comment-1393830-20100930031155/@comment-35301431-20100930061740

I am just picturing how all these large active wikis are going to look with squished infoboxes... and it literally makes my stomach hurt. I shouldn't be stressing over this, but I am. Because I know the amount of people who are going to be hurt (feelings) and I also know how difficult is going to be to adapt to this cruddy skin. All their work being pushed aside like nothing because Staff needs to bow down to Advertisers and their square flash ads.

I suggested (in one of these blogs) that a long vertical ad be run instead of a square one... that would at least shrink the module drastically and expand on the content space that even Monaco doesn't have. Or just leave the ads at the top and bottom of the page, removing the square ad from the module entirely.

And I am positive that this "Smaller space = Easier to read" is a complete lie. Something to basically "shut us up". You know it is bogus, since it is obvious people have no issue reading articles with wide content space... Wikipedia has been doing so for years, so it makes no sense as to why Wikia is doing it. And the lie and bias is proven when it comes to Unencyclopedia, who not only get to keep their skin, but also has a Staff Member working on the site.
