User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-1358890-20101002001925/@comment-30362814-20101002015950

What are you going to call the new Wikia, WikiTwitter? Most of these sites aren't social networking sites; see this for an example.

Most users come to Wikia for an encyclopedia, not some look that completely takes the concept of obtaining information out of it. You, on the other hand, will always stubbornly support the new skin because you will lose less money off of it.

"Oh, if we don't have enough money, then we can't continue running Wikia!" is going through your thoughts right now. How about this: why don't you listen to your community for once instead of acting like stuck-up monarchs and narcissists? And if the old design was so hard to maintain financially, then why have you been able to maintain Monaco for so long?

You've already done a lot of dumb stuff. You've forced upon us the new galleries and you've never listened to any bug reports. As a lot of other people stated: You're acting like the new YouTube. Scoffing at those remarks? How about you listen to them for once?

You've been too busy trying to make snappy comebacks to our criticism on previous pages, and you think you can ignore criticism on this blog. It isn't going to work out for you this way. People will keep complaining until you force the new design upon us, which thousands of wikis and users will leave because of it. You will never admit you made mistakes because you are stuck-up narcissists who can't accept criticism. Any comments?
