User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-1714259-20110930082203

So apparently you're hearing our feedback? Well, any sane person would figure out that we don't like this change. Withdraw it altogether or at the very least make it optional. Honestly, this has been repeated hundreds of times, we aren't a bloody social networking site. If I wanted Facebook I would Ctrl+Tab to my Facebook tab, but no, I am on Wikia to edit and communicate using MediaWiki.

Wikia, your definition of "listening" to feedback is creating a list so users would stop repeating the global consenus, then proceeding regardless, continuing to ride roughshod over the only thing that allows you to deliver a profit, editors. Your copious quantities of advertisements are useless if there is no content sitting next to them.

Finally, this is no big change, I'm sure many of us use Facebook, we've been living with message walls for years. We know how they work, and we know that they have absolutely no place on Wikia.

Note: I'll probably refine this a tad later.
