User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-1331296-20110926191521

What the hell? This isn't a social networking website, it's an encyclopedia. How hard is it to click "add a new message" for new users? It's not. This looks absolutely disgusting. I agree with Cod4. Taking a step towards social networking and a step away from being an encyclopedia is a step in the wrong direction.

I like being able to customize my talk page, I like having signatures, I like having certain sections of my talk page for individual people who can re-edit that section until I archive. I like having new messages at the bottom, I like archiving so people can sift through to find old information, I like having a talk PAGE instead of a WALL.

I dislike the idea of having old messages fall off when I get too many. I dislike the idea that these horrible comment boxes will take up so much space. I dislike the thought of not being able to fully customize my talk page. I dislike the idea of having notifications in the top right when everything else is at the bottom left. I dislike the idea of losing information on this wall of boxes and not archiving. How am I supposed to find information from 2 years ago if it "paginates"??

Sigh.
