KrytenKoro - And when you see me standing there, you'll know you've got a friend with a rock, I mean a big-ass rock. TALK - So yeah, the new wikia skin rolled out today. You know those infoboxes that we keep on the right hand side of the page? The page is so badly distorted, they are now on the left-center. I've left messages with a few of the prominent users on tfwiki, who did the biggest move away and, I think, have been most successful, but I've gotten no replies. Shoutwiki, though, seems to be a free space to host a wiki, and many other wikias are moving there. We can contact them and ask for pointers on how to move. Take a look at Dimension Link, with your preferences set to new skin. It was a bitch to get that info to fit even on the previous widescreen format. Wikia's BULLSHIT RESPONSE of "Well, you'll have to fix it" is impossible to apply here. I am....I am beyond furious. .... The changes they have made are beyond destructive. Honestly, I'm ready to start moving to a new wiki if you guys are good with it.

Uh, is it just me, or am I the only one to not see any changes? Or maybe it's that preference thing, where do I choose the option for the new skin? 17master 16:25, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA go to preferences, go to skin, and click new wiki look, and you will witness with horror as all pages suddenley only take up a quarter of your frikkin screen. whose dumb idea was this piece of $#!+!!!!!!!!!!

KrytenKoro - Click TALK - Please see this, guys. Depending on what our traffic is, ShoutWiki may not be the best target, and if we do move, we need to keep our own copies of the database, updating monthly and held by several editors.

17master "Back. Off." — 16:56, October 6, 2010 (UTC) oooh... glossy.... waith, where the heck did the main page gone to? what the, the game's icons are now covering the link to gallery section! (Sora's page) And why are there usernames scattered all over the article...? what the duck, there are almost no difference in section's heading and it's contains! whoa, whoa, whoa the format is freaking scr*wed! this is worse than I thought it would be! O_O"

Dan - Life's no fun without a good scare! ♫ — 16:57, October 6, 2010 (UTC) I can only think of one word to describe the "New Wikia Look". Horrid. Simply Horrid. This is really pointless, with the "Photos uploaded onto this wikia" feature, the actual article text takes up, what 20% of the on-screen space? I'll take monaco any day... I must ask, is this going to be the default skin for all unregistered accounts, or is it possible to set monaco as the default skin?

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Wow, this new skin is horrible. It's angry mob with pitchforks time. I origonally thought it might be O.K, but after I actually saw it in action, I want to vomit over the Wikia staff. I am now fine with us moving, this is horrible. -17:45, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Organization 13 - What's your problem?! TALK - Got it memorized? *Sharpens pitchfork.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "It wasn't a compliment." "From where I stood the only thing you drew was a big L on your forehead for "Loser," "Lame," "Laughable"..." — 19:20, October 6, 2010 (UTC) I told you guys. I TOLD you this skin sucked. What do we do now? Commence with desctruction and chaos, and anarchy. ...Or we could find a peaceful solution. Either way, I've got the bricks, chainsaws, and goat sacrifices.

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — You threw me in the acid and then just left me there! What kind of friend does that?! — 19:28, October 6, 2010 (UTC) What the ****? Half of the page isn't even there anymore! God ****ing damnit. =_= We need to do something about this, fast.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - This heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it—it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. TALK - Your body submits, your heart succumbs—so why does your mind resist? — 19:44, October 6, 2010 (UTC) I don't get it. Won't moving to a new Wiki just cause the changes to carry over to it, as well? Or are we going to go through the pain-staking process of creating a Wikipedia-style Wiki? I honestly think we should get a petition-type thing going to send to Wikia before we consider a move. Better to be civilized than act only on rash actions. Not saying I'm okay with the new skin, it's absolutely terrible! But I'm very confused about all this.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Pretty much everyone has been doing that, ENX. There have been several petitions. The vast majority of feedback comments to this during the development stages was overwhelmingly negative (and well-thought out and worded negative comments at that). Wikia just doesn't give a damn.

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — You threw me in the acid and then just left me there! What kind of friend does that?! — 19:50, October 6, 2010 (UTC) I'm all for being civilized, but this is metaphorically the same to when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. We are past the point of negotiating. We've gotta get a ****ing ATOMIC BOMB, and DROP IT RIGHT ON THOSE ********!

OR, we could find a completely blank wiki farm and have some of our more HTML oriented users screw around with the coding... KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON.

J.Severe - If light and darkness are eternal, Square Enix and Disney should be too. TALK - The only Final Mix I actually want is Kingdom Hearts 3D Final Mix! There NEEDS to be a Final Mix for a game on a Nintendo console! Well, I'm on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki right now with the new Wiki skin and I've officially NEVER been more disgusted in my entire life. I'm about to leave a stern message on one of Wikia's blog right now and try to reason with them. I may fail, but... eh, ya never know.

Neumannz — Yeah, well, I don't care what the FBI, CIA, RGB and XFL say! I already returned the priceless paintings that were evidence! TALK — No one must see this. DELETED! — 22:50, October 6, 2010 (UTC)   OH GOD-WHAT THE HELL-DAMNIT. KILL IT WITH FIRE! So, do we start looking at destinations, or do we wait for a bit and see if Wikia finally caves to pressure?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 01:22, October 7, 2010 (UTC) Good news: Oasis can be turned off in your preferences back to Monaco. Bad news: Starting early November, that will no longer be an option. We have about a month left with Monaco before it is completely destroyed, and is no longer available to any Wikia wiki. If Wikia continues to not show any concern for what its editors are telling them, I would suggest that we move. We are not providing our information in a quality fashion while restricted to the New Wikia Look. True, we could customize the skin to be something similar to what we used to have, but the main issues are the spacing, additional Wikia-based boxes to the right, and the restraint of our ability to customize our wiki. I suggest that we wait until the change happens across all Wikia, however. Until then, feel free to get ready to move, but we should wait until we actually see if Wikia makes any changes to their final product. I detest this new skin so very, very much, and I think all wikis planning to leave Wikia are justified in their self-exodus. However, better safe than sorry. Several wikis are going to stick around to make sure that we aren't going to miss out on anything.

KrytenKoro - "Because I knew something he didn't. I knew that I was lying. Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?" TALK - DTN has hit the nail on the head. We should spend this time planning the move: finding an acceptable host, working out issues with ads and css if necessary, making the database dumps, etc. However, we should wait until the very last week before starting the exodus, and give wikia every chance to pull their heads out of their bombadier.

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 09:51, October 7, 2010 (UTC) If they plan to disable the current skin forever, then the Spyro Wiki is off to Shoutwiki. Why can't the staff see that nobody wants the new skin. I'd be happier if they cancel this whole upgrade. If they ignore us, then they will see that only a few wikis remain.
