@Yoshord:I am not actually even going to attempt beta testing it. However there were a few images released which showed some really bad design choices IMO. First off, and the only part of this that I don't hate, is that the sidebar will be moved to the top and changed into a drop-down menu. That gets it up and out of the way, meaning we could have wider article space and include more content in said space. However, that is messed up by the right recent activity bar. To me, that is very bad because it makes it so there's no buffer between the article text and the left side of the screen. My monitor for some strange reason has about half an inch of the left side of every program cut off, meaning that I might not be able to read articles correctly anymore. However, that is an issue only for me, so it doesn't really count. | |||
Honestly, I'm not as mad at this as before when I made the topic. I understand Wikia's reason to screw with the wikis, even though it is a really crappy reason. I may try the beta once I can get some more info about it, like can I revert back to normal or am I stuck with the beta skin once I apply for it? | |||
It does appear that every wiki will have the same background and that we can only change the colors, at least that's what I saw on on of their blog posts about this. And I believe it is worth it, Wikia didn't let us contribute to their new format before it became known. So we are stuck with what they give us. We might be able to mess with it, but from the look of the screenshots I don't think so. | |||

You '''really''' should of asked before you sent that message. I personally would prefer Dweevil's first idea, with making your own Wiki with MediaWiki. It would be almost the same as now, so everyone doesn't need to learn a whole new system. And the best part is, we would have full control of how it works and what happens on it. If we were to do that, or course I would set it up, with the whole Head Admin thing and all. I would send Peanut a copy when it's done, so we could have a backup of the info. I think that could work out fine, but let us wait until Wikia gives more information about the new changes before we do anything else people. We're not going to move anytime soon. | |||
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be making a backup of all the css and js we have, just in case.}} |

I give up... Wikia staff members ignore us... In my eyes, we have only two options now.
- Live with the new style (we could do this, albeit with much frustration)
- Relocate (this might not be such a bad idea, though, if wikia continues to make bad updates)
- To do this we could set up our own independent wiki and join NIWA.
- I do not think NIWa accepts fan-made wikis. --User:Gamefreak75/Sig

I am convinced that the Wikia's advertising department is certain that their new format will be so inviting to new members that they could double their users overnight even if all the old members left. I doubt that their mind could be changed by mere "I'm leaving and everyone else will too!" --Yoshord 02:36, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
Contrarily, are you actually beta-testing right now? Have you seen this skin? Is it really so bad that you feel the need to mass-organize a revolt so that you won't need to spend another five hours modifying the new skin to have a grassy background? Is it in the slightest worth it? --Yoshord 03:34, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
