Except this takes away personalization. Some people replay on other people's talk pages, and others like to keep it on one page, and the staff is forcing us to do what they want. Many users are accomidating, and if asked, they will reply on the talk page where it began to make the conversation easy to follow. People can reply to messages in the manner of your choosing, it is not up to the staff for force yet something else on us, tell us how we want, and in all honesty should repy to messages, and decide how we want to organize our personal user talk page. That should be a decision that has, and should continue to be left up to the individual user. This system takes that away and that isn't what people want. Stop forcing us to change because only you want us to. You aren't doing anyone any favors or any yourselves any favors by continually forcing things on us that we don't want. Next time, get feedback BEFORE you start working on something, not after. You will save yourselves time, money, and effort by not developing something that will be so unpoplular. It is a fact that unpopular ideas drive people away, and yet you keep forcing them on us. Maybe, this one time, listen to us and stop a bad idea before it gets out because if it gets out, then not only will I believe the staff doesn’t care about feedback in all forms, but will ignore something they don’t want to see, and the staff has every intention of turning the Wikia network into a Facebook clone. We don’t need, don’t want, and have no use for things on Facebook and we don’t want Facebook on our wikis. It works fine there, but not here. Go back to being a content-based site, rather than the social networking site you are trying to turn yourselves into.

If the staff pushes this down the throats of users, then there is nothing that can convince me that the staff no longer listens to the Community. They do what they want and don't care about the people who actually have to use what they come up with. You are only hurting yourselves by doing this so please stop forcing things on us when the community is so much against it.

If the majority of people don't want it, then is it logical to force something on us? Standard logic would say no. Make a list staff members of the people who oppose and support this idea and if the people that support it isn't above 60%, then don't go through with the idea. You continually appeal to the minority, and you should be listening to the majority, and the majority of users don't want this, yet if you push it through, then everyone will be convinced that you have no intention, had no intention, repeatedly refuse, and ignore us when it comes to negative feedback. Negative feedback is a part of life, yet I don't see at any time does the staff take it into consideration.

Just use a system where we can respond how we wish, organize how we wish, and do what we want with our own personal talk pages.

Oh wait a second, we already have a system that does that now, so why replace a system that serves multiple functions with something that makes wikis resemble a social networking site. Wikia isn't a social networking site so please stop trying to make it one.
