Forum:Wikianswers ads invasion

Today i've been loggout of Wikia and i really didn't like what i've seen on the main page of fr.guildwars :

I know the Wikianswers wikis need some love, especially some languages other than english, but i know now why visitors are saying bad comment to us about how the wiki is looking. — TulipVorlax 06:06, December 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback. This is shown instead of the normal ads that unregistered users would see - both the same size and position as usual. Are people saying that it's worse to have internal ads that ones promoting external things? Angela (talk) 06:15, December 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem I see is that internal wikia ads look like they are part of the wiki they are displayed on, especially wikianswer ads which ask users to ask questions about that particular wiki, or lists questions which can be answered if the user explored that wiki. Clueless readers then click these ads and get redirected away from the wiki they were exploring, which means a loss of their possible contributions and/or readership. -- LordTBT Talk! 06:24, December 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah you resumed it good, i think.
 * When i first saw this i was almost thinking it was the wrong wiki for a second.
 * And in the next few second "what the heck, it's no wonder visitors are..."
 * I think people should first ask questions about the subject of the french GuildWars wikia in the forum, not on another wiki.
 * Is Wikia really thinking the others admins of GuildWars wikia will go answering them on the other wiki while they have so much trouble increasing content on the GuildWars wikia ? There's only two of them aside me and there wont be more since people prefer this other external wiki wich is using the old Monobook skin and truly removing ads for logedin users.
 * Me, i prefer Wikia because i have a single account for all wikis. But most people dont contribute to a lot of wikis like i sometimes do.
 * I didn't complained (much) about the Wikianswers widget. I didn't complain at all about the square ad about Wikianswers. I dont like the banner full of links to click. But what i hate the most is having them all at the same time.
 * I've always thinked it was stupid when both the square ad and the banner were about the same exact thing. I think somewhere the code that choose the ads should be able to check if they're about the same thing. Or maybe, Wikia just need many more french ads about different suject. I dont really know. I'm not expert in ads...
 * Another thing that bugs me is when there's no banner that show up but it still leave a big white space at the top.
