Ok, I get it. This looks EXACTLY like some of the articles on Yahoo. The only difference is that this is in a eye-catching sidebars with the photos. I get Wikia wanting to be like the rest, but I thought the best thing about Wikia was that it WAS different. That is what first brought me on here, was that it was "Wikipedia" with an edge. It also had a MUCH greater user-friendly attitude for people wanting to bring in their own code. I know that most of the changes that will be made will be changed again at some point, but as long as Wikia keeps the door open on allowing individual sites to make them "their own", then I will keep coming back.
