Some links to a problem being discussed concerning all the wikia sites, including this one.

Basically, the main wikia staff are gonna force a new look on all sites affiliated with them. Changes include:


 * Complete overhaul of the article orientation, From right like with Wikipedia to left like with some blog sites.
 * Huge empty space on the right, I'm thinking is for ads.
 * Allowing comments on articles like blog sites.
 * Small article size.

 * Yes, I know about it. I was wondering when this would be brought up here. The new look is actually quite nice, and changing the settings/colors is actually really easy. The problem is the fixed width. I absolutely loath it, and brought it up a couple of times. But I feel like they're completely ignoring the users on that stance. I don't understand why the content space has to be so tiny, it makes zero sense. Um... but besides that huge issue, it's quite good.  YazzyDream  16:29, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Its nice looking indeed but conflicts with alot of what most wikias aim for. I'm particularly peeved on the article size also as well as the article orientation.Mugiwara Franky
 * Yea, that's what I mean, the fixed width is the content space. It's terrible. The articles are completely smooshed to one side. >:( I sent in another feedback saying it again.  YazzyDream  16:42, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hate it... The wikias aren't all the same and there are traits and aims across them that each has. Now weve all suddenly got to comply with the wikia staff wants and desires, theres no consideration for how things have previously been working up until now.

 * I know, most of what they're want is aimed more towards traveling across different wikias, ad space, and looking like a blog site like facebook rather than the specific needs and aims of each wikia. Those reasons maybe reasonable I guess to a point, except they're sacrificing the most basic need that all wikias require, suitable articles that provide information.


 * It's a really a big debate indeed. In fact, it's caused some users to make this little group. This also brings to something really important. If for some unjustified chance the wikia staff don't heed the hundreds of complaints, this really means bad news for this site. We may have to be forced once again to move.Mugiwara Franky 16:46, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
