As a former Wikia admin from several years ago, I agree with what you say. This site is a mess. Been following Community Central since leaving, out of curiosity, and the number of rebrands and changes in direction is ridiculous. The mobile skin is still terrible, monobook now removed, ancient version of MediaWiki and adverts are as bad as ever, in fact on the mobile skin they're worse. Mobile theme designer always promised but never delivered. Several security issues swept under the carpet, only now finally adopting HTTPS.

All meanwhile they slowly abandon everything that isn't TV, movies or games. And terrible videos forced upon these communities that don't want them. Restrictive terms of use, yet staff turn a blind eye on the big wikis when they threaten to leave. One day, something's allowed, next day it's not.

And because the platform is so bad, they feel the need to keep abandoned communities open, using their SEO to scare other communities into staying. This time, RuneScape has the game developer behind the new wiki, yet staff still keep the old one open!
