Why can't Wikia stick with the tried, true, and most imprtantly, fast, Mediawiki layout instead of stuffing around with the site layouts all the time? There's a reason why Wikipedia doesn't suck. Bring back classic pre-2015 Wikia layout already, I almost feel like adding the entire website to Adblock Plus just so I can forget what an abomination it has become!

Part of the problem is they keep on throwing more ads on as folks add on ad blockers. Worst of all is folks that try to turn off ad block "giving them a chance", many times it takes the browser to a crawl. And Wikia isn't the only place with this throttle ad issue. News sites like Forbes are pretty much put themselves on people blacklists thanks to attack ads when turning off ad blockers. Wikia and other web sites need to consider rebuilding their ads so they are less harmful to viewers, and making them less intrusive.
