User blog comment:New Captain/Can Fluid Layout be Optional?/@comment-1142365-20131206132114

There is no benefit to making this optional. It is a new layout, and Wikia would have to support both layouts if they were to make it optional. It is not analogous to something like Chat which is optional - Wikia doesn't have to "support" an absence of the feature.

Websites and the Internet are fickle entities; as technologies and user habits change, so should websites. Darwin is an evolution of the Oasis skin that was released over 3 years ago. For comparison, Monaco was released in Feburary 2008, which was less than 3 years before Oasis was released. This is, in the big picture, a much less drastic change than going from Monaco->Oasis.
