User blog comment:Ciencia Al Poder/Portable Infoboxes, the first step into Wikia taking control over our content/@comment-86.161.112.209-20170505161340/@comment-1370845-20170510215326


 * "Forcing users to use the Oasis skin" - uh, Oasis is the skin that is used on Fandom. This is like me complaining that Wikipedia "forces readers to use the Vector skin".
 * "Bombardment with ads" - have you kept up with the Modernization blogs? You know that the goal right now is actually to have less ads?
 * "Staff forcing wiki to use proprietary features" - I urge you to read TimQ's comment, particularly his last paragraph. The experience of thousands of mobile viewers should take precedence over a group of stubbornly anti-Fandom Staff users.
 * "A mobile site that STILL sucks" - you are trivialising how easy it is to make a mobile site that works for hundreds of thousands of communities, all which have several hundreds of templates that will be coded radically differently (some use inline CSS, some use classes; some use wikitext tables, some use divs...). An easy way around this problem is to introduce templates that separate content from presentation - which, y'know, is the whole point of Portable Infoboxes.
 * "Annoying and irrelevant fan feed" - while I'm not sure how this is any worse than any other ad, basically every other wikifarm links to other things that the site offers elsewhere on their pages.
 * "Somehow managing to develop forums so badly they are now being replaced" - wow, I actually agree with you on this one. Forums, Message Walls, and Blogs are all stupid. That said, I don't know why you're upset about the fact that Forums are being replaced with Discussions as opposed to acknowledging this as a plus that they are willing to update old features.

Again with "refusing to close an old wiki". What incentive do they have to do that other than just pure courtesy?
