As some of you that use the default look for wiki already know, Wikia dumped the 'New Wiki Look' on us without warning. Those that can still see under all of this mess, me and two other users have a plan of action:
We're cutting all ties of wikia and moving onto FTA's website; FindTheComputerRoom.com.
Pros
- We will have complete freedom, including our layout and editing systems.
- Arbitrary updates can be avoided.
- Our location will draw more users in, and with (possible) help from FTCR, we'll be able to avoid vandals, trolls, etc from coming on the site.
These are some Pros, not all of them.
Cons
- There is a slight possibility we may lose all of our statistics, but FTA himself thinks that all of that will be kept intact through the move.
If you wish to ask about the move, please contact FTA here before turning to anyone else. 16:10, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
EDIT: We've got some baaaaaad news, guys. FTA responded to a PM I left him regarding how long it would take to move the site, and his response is rather unsettling;
[The site's move will] Not for a while I'm afraid.
We're still working on getting our site up to begin with.
Prob wouldn't be for a few months at the earliest. 23:33, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
Agree
The changes aren't even that good, having a skin like that is gonna make things much harder. So, I regrettably have to agree. Myself 123 16:25, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
I agree, the new skin just bunches all the info up, makes it look like s***. G e r o yo 17:58, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
I agree if it avoids the mandatory wikia look. --Ikkaku Madarame' 21:43, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
For the SFW, I agree. This new look is WRETCHED; it looks like Facebook. Schoolbus13 How ya doin? 22:04, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
It looks extremely bad. I want it out of every wiki.UltimateDude127 22:06, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
I can't say a word...I just dont wanna be scared anymore! So I agree!Selenia the cat is who I really am... my fate is sealed... 22:09, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
I hate it when Wikia any site just drops there changes on there members and expect them to manage (devART for example). While I am thankful for Wikia to allow me to options to work with olskool MonoBook, I hate having to set it that way now and again, especially when setting the skin won'yt do it and have to do it over or wait it out. As long as I can still work to contribute information to SNN and help the people on this Sonic wiki and do it in the fashion I have been doing so since I joined then I ma fine with that.--Mystic Monkey sez 22:19, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
agreed. Tails6000 22:46, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
Disagree
Those who disagree, put your name and signature here:
As if my vote matters, here I am. Is it really worth risking our status and whatnot for...a new look? I like this look, too.

Questions
Will this Wiki still work the same way? Especially those who make articles the old fashion way with MonoBook skin.--Mystic Monkey sez 20:41, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
- A, yes. And B, the changes will eventually be mandatory, right now is 'Public Beta Testing' according to our Beta Tester. 20:43, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
