I haven't seen anyone complain about the lack of Monoco on this blog yet. Maybe a little moan, but that can be satisfied by viewing monobook as their preference. Anyways, coming from a Monoco/monobook only wiki, I was confused about how wikia worked, and didn't like it much. But now, over time, I see the benefits of both. I don't see any ads (heh heh heh), but the extra space given on my old wiki looks really bad. (+1 Oasis) RTE (+ .5 Wikia) Customization is great in the old skin (apparently) (+1 mono?) but there is still a decent amount of room (+.5 oasis). Floating main area good to work with wide monitors, but they may not see the art I've uploaded :(. And the ads/wikia header mess up the view of the mainpage I was trying to make (-1 oasis) I also like the labs that wikia introduces. (+5 wikia, +1 oasis for tabview) However, all in all, I've gotten the hang of things with this skin. Plenty of good stuff here. Except maybe the right hand toolbar (-.5 oasis)...

I also just realized that I came to wikia almost exactly after they brought in the new skin. So I can't complain.
