	::I think that the new skin is rubbish, advertising again. The constant Wikia banner at the top makes it feel no longer like "<code>Grand Theft Wiki (hosted by Wikia)</code>," but more like "<code>Wikia - Grand Theft Wiki</code>" (if you understand what I mean). It looks awful and makes navigation difficult. I quite like Monaco, one of the best MediaWiki skins I've ever seen for both usability ''and'' aesthetics, and they're even taking away customisability with the new skin and terms of use (despite ensuring that it would be ''more'' customisable than Monaco).

			:::What BGTAFE said pretty much sums it up. Matter of fact, many wikis are planning to move to other wiki hosts (such as ShoutWiki) to avoid the problems this will cause. Almost all of the people who have commented on satff's blog posts have posted negative comments. A poll that was put up showed that 60 people did not want the move to go through, and only 3 people did (most likley staff). They're not even allowing Monaco as an option! Why? Because it costs too much and the technical support teams cannot handle it. This is what I don't get, if you can't fork out money for something everyone wants, how did you get enough money to utilise social profiles or the "My Home" system? I just continue to wonder. If anyone is interested, check out the [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Anti-Wikia_Alliance Anti-Wikia Alliance] on the Community wiki, it lists users who are not in support, and wikis who are leaving/planning to leave. World of Warcraft wiki, the third largest, is considering a move. '''''[[User:Chimpso\|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso\|Talk]]) 07:59, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
