Some of you may have noticed the new "followed pages" feature on Wikia. It's basically the same as the watchlist, but it also:


 * 1) Violates other people's privacy (however trivially)
 * 2) Sounds suspiciously like what they do on Twitter. This seems like an attempt to jump on the "social" bandwagon. (No offense meant to Twitter users.)
 * 3) Allows vandals to look specifically at the pages people are watching and vandalize them all, thus spamming your email.
 * 4) Seems completely unnecessary. I see no logical reason for doing this. It's not just like fixing something that isn't broken, but more like breaking something that works. It serves no practical purpose whatsoever.

Therefore, with the permission of the people of this site, I would like to request to Central Wikia to remove the "followed pages" thingamabob and replace it with the old watchlist.

In other news: I'm working on a minute-long stop-motion trailer for 2010 Gigas Magna Storyline media. It'll have about 20 frames per second, and should be done by this weekend. No promises, though; I have a lot of school stuff to work on. I won't be online very often.
