Trevor, message walls do not resolve any of this. Much like your beloved facebook, you will have some people that reply on their own wall while others will reply on the other person's. All you needed to do to better the messaging system is implement an automatic talk back system. You say the current system is not up to par. Well, if message walls are the end all solution, why has not other wiki farm, let alone Wikipedia or Wikimedia implemented them? Wikipedia blows the entire Wikia network out of the water in terms of page views (7th in the U.S as compared to Wikia's 47th). They must be doing something right. Their articles are plenty organized. Though I hate Wikipedia with every ounce of my being, from my experience there, if you leave a message for someone, they always get it.. I am still not letting you go for your promise of no article comments on talk pages. Don't make promises you don't intend to keep.
