 ::Ugh. I just took a look at the Wikia to which I most frequently contribute. The new look completely erased all the wiki's customizations and appears to have messed up the navigation menu, too. It looks horrible. I can see why the others are upset. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 11:18, 6 November 2010 (PDT)
+:Wow, you are right. I'll have to pass the reports of RPG wikis back to The Piazza. People interested in those subjects are going to want to know about the move. There must be other wiki users considering the move too.
+:The interesting thing is that despite the exodus, Sansse is refusing to consider switching back to the former template (which seems to be the main reason why people are choosing to leave) and she is also refusing to allow any wiki-community to shut down the Wikia version of their project when they leave (meaning that ''every'' wiki that leaves is forking instead of moving). There are so many wikis leaving Wikia, that I think that the Wikia page may need to be given a section that lists them all. It might even need to be a subpage or even something like a 'wikis that left Wikia' category. I'm not really sure which is best. I've never seen anything like this in my life!
+:And if Wikia are creating "forks" that are unsupported, that might need to somehow be noted on any pages set up for those wikis on WikiIndex. Wikia's forking is bound to create confusion and the articles here are going to need to present both wikis along with a reason for the fork (perhaps a 'forked from wikia' template could save some typing.
