I'm putting up with this skin for now in the hope that Wikia will make it more usable - or even restore Monobook. Though I'm not advocating an entire switchover (yet), I'll be happy to follow the wiki. [[User:Fegaxeyl|Fegaxeyl]] 21:34, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

The Nexus: Index > Move??


While this may seem over the top. I'v noticed that many people both on here and on other wikis are becoming increasingly frustrated with Wikia, one of many solutions offered is to move to one of the other wiki sites but many of these don't apeal as they lack the support base wikia has, however one that does is http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page it has a good support base and they are willing to help people move from one wiki host to another, in addition you recive a top level domain name and can (depending on what type of wiki you go for) limit members through an aproval process.

Well it finally happened. Wikia has ended the Monaco format. Now I see this wiki in the new look. Not sure though if that is enough for me to suggest we move to a different system. I need more time with the new look. Mitro 15:57, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

I just switched to monobook. Its not as good as Monaco, but far superior to the crap new version. At least it keeps all the options on the left, where user interfaces have been putting their toolbars and options for the last 30 years and theres no real reason to switch now (stupid wikipedia moving the search bar to the right).--Oerwinde 20:20, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Moving would be drastic and difficult for a large, diffuse community like ours. Transfering all the pages would be a headache... or do they take care of that for you? I'm also not completely aware of proprietary rights and so forth. All material on the Wikia is GNU/CC protected, correct? Deos ShoutWiki have the same license?

I just switched to Monobook too. So much better than 'Wikia's New Look'. It's not worth the effort to change all 11,000+ pages on this site to fit some disagreeable, confusing, and chaotic new style.--Emperor of Trebizond 20:55, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's funny, but when I scroll rapidly up and down I actually get disorientated. Mostly because of the repeating background, but also due to the sheer shittyness of the new skin. Downgrading to Monobook it is. >:| --XterrorX 21:08, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
