1. You can consider money already spent when making decisions about what to do now but it's irrational and often leads to poor choices. 2. Ok, so thousands of bigtime contributors that are unhappy would be even more unhappy if they were listened to instead of ignored? We could have confidence that when Wikia makes a bad decision, we can trust they will stick by it come hell or high water? I think you're confusing an announcement with a promise, saying we have a new skin in the works is an announcement, not a promise. 3. ?? 4. Advertisers are important, and should be listened to. But they aren't the only constituency here. Without content, no one will come to look at the ads. People that donate their time to create content for free so Wikia can profit shouldn't be ignored so brazenly as they have up to this point. 5. This is a core problem, we have developers that are giving edicts, not options, handcuffs instead of tools, newness instead of freshness, bloat instead of trimness. Respect that this is a wiki host for thousands of individal wikis, not a single wiki.
