User blog comment:Sannse/Important Updates on Wikia’s New Look/@comment-1333424-20100929153331

The problem with this update is not the skin. As long as Monobook will stay as a personal option, then it is fine. The problem is the css and javascript restrictions. If a wiki does not like Wikia's new additions–which are stupid and useless for the most–then it's their choice IMO. Several stupid features have been introduced recently–blogs, article comments and article comments to be specific. I do understand that some wikis have them, but some wikis are actually encyclopedias, whose aim is to create a comprehensive encyclopedia.

A comprehensive encyclopedia is not achieved by having blogs and article comments. They are useless. If users want to socialize, there is always an IRC channel. The purpose of an encyclopedia is not to be a new Facebook and Twitter.

That's the reason why "professional wikis" want them disabled. If Wikia still forces them on us, then God help us.
