Susan Taylor, if you're getting this, can you please try and convince the staff to make the skin optional? I know why you say you can't, but a lot of wikis will leave if you don't do something about the skin, including the one that I am at. It's good to see someone who actually responds to comments rather than just ignoring them like the rest of the staff does.

You and the staff must realize why this is a bad move. I know you guys need money, I understand that. What I don't understand is why the vast majority of you aren't listening to our comments. This is supposed to be a community-run website, and, at this point, it doesn't look like it. If wikis leave, you'll get less users. Then, all of those new ads that you put up won't be worth anything. There won't be anybody to view them.

You can obviously see that most of us strongly dislike the new skin. If the staff is paying attention to any comments, they're only paying attention to the positive ones. That just doesn't seem right. Again, it's good to see that someone is paying attention...

Anyway, if you could stress this to the staff for us, we'd really appreciate it. If you want, I could help. I'm willing to do whatever it takes so that the people get their way. I've expressed my concern about this issue before, and I can do it again. Thanks for reading.
