	::To be truthful, I dislike the new look. It's making Wikia look more like a social networking site then a professional wiki organisation. As Grand Theft Wiki is (speaking frankly here) slightly more professional (especially with our templates) then other wikis, this may drop our reputation a little. In addition to this, our site banner will have to go, as it runs on Monaco. We use a lot of infoboxes, the small article content space (600px) and large sidebar means that all the writing is squished and messy, with the infobox looking a lot bigger. Of course it's easy to tweak the userboxes to fit, but on many articles here, some images will have to go, as the article is too cluttered. I was using the new look on the Community Wikia and noticed several clashes between buttons, text and images.

			:I agree that it's not perfect, and I agree that it's quite a big change. I'm not sure it is necessary to go this far towards looking like a social networking site rather than a big open content-based collaboration. I fully intend to tweak & alter the layout to maximise our content area and provide a recognisable GTW experience. I'll keep you in the loop on that.
