Perhaps you didn't read it, but in the discussion way back in 2008, when Monaco was introduced a lot of people said the exact same thing you are. "A bunch of Wikis are leaving, is that what you want?!" And now we're using the same argument again. I've forced myself to use the new look today and I actually like it, minus the content space reduction, which looks awful. Truth is, Bleach wiki and my own wikis have been seriously looking into moving while we test the new skin with our beta users and we are finding that we may be able to adjust better than we thought. Now that's not saying that every wiki will be able to adapt, but seriously, even if a few hundred wiki leave, there will be thousands left and new users to move into the dead wikis and revive them. This argument will not win them over, no matter how much sense it seems to make to us.
