User blog comment:Sannse/Important Updates on Wikia’s New Look/@comment-1589654-20100929095457

A dark day indeed. It seems that the uncompromising intransigence continues and it has been decided to double down, full steam ahead, making it a terms of service violation to deviate in any meaningful way from the page layout they've decided to proscribe.

This next example might seem overwrought, but I really hope you think about it, because I couldn't be more serious. The difference between a planned economy and a market economy is in where the decisions get made. Whether most decisions get made by a couple of people and then apply to everyone, or whether decisions get made by the people most directly affected by the outcome of the decision.

Wikia's a big place, with a huge variety of content on the individual wikis. Making us all look alike may sound great in principle, but in practice means shoehorning content for many of us into inappropriate layouts. Different wikis have different audiences.

Planned economies exist in very few countries, Cuba, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, and Burma. There's a reason why.
