Not exactly a boycott ... it feels like I have been alienated at Wikia.

I've tried using the new look at my 1024x768 resolution desktop but the combination of lost real estate and GUI productivity hit is simply unbearable. In my case the highly praised MyTools bar is simply not able to be customized and I've had no response for nearly a week regarding this problem.

Given Wikia's unreasonably short lifespan for the Monaco skin I have zero confidence that the new look will last much longer than 2 years. Therefore I have zero motivation to "learn" the new look especially since the only wiki host that uses it is WIkia.

I suppose that any tweaking of the wikis I leave behind at Wikia will have to be done by either Wikia staff or some motivated individual in each respective community.

A very sad turn of events.
