User blog comment:Yyp/New Wikia Skin:What we can expect?/@comment-1405841-20100924003228

Well, straight from the dragon's mouth:

"Because it will improve Wikia and help us grow. No successful site stands still, we always need to change with the times."

While that is correct, not every site needs to go beyond the format that has become loved amongst the users for a very long time. Look at GameFAQs, they haven't changed drastically beyond what they used to be and the site is very userfriendly while retaining a feeling of being usable for the users of since the beginning. In fact, they offer a CLASSIC version for just such users....so what is stopping Wikia from making this optional? They can advance as a site by making the new layout the default, then allowing a change to it just like normal...there's no reason to make it ONLY the new look.
