User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Why Fandom Evolves: A Look Ahead in 2017/@comment-26402117-20170111211758

I think that 2016 has been a big, quite impressive change in my personal experience of Fandom. It will pave the way for 2017 to be a very interesting year.

Moderating Discussions was a nice change and an insight into the readers of the wiki that didn't join by interacting through the other products but still heavily use the wiki as a reference source. I especially admire Fandom's pioneering efforts in product and content portability; that's yet another way Wikia's bringing its experience to everyone. The design updates are something I really like, and how Wikia's finding something modern that works for wiki users with the open thread. The mobile skin's performance is massively changed too, and I'm also glad for seeing a transition to HTML5 advertising on the desktop site.
