Honestly, this has become downright ridiculous. Its one thing to come up with plans and ideas to convert the wiki into the equivalent of a "social network but not a social network" but to not warn anyone, then not make it optional, and then to ignore the feedback and negative criticism from the wiki users is just completely outrageous.

A wikia does not function efficiently when it comes down to improving articles and settings in general, and is focused far too heavily on the "fun, social, and engaging" aspects of wikia, which in some cases, or both irrelevant and unnecessary. The talk page system, whilst not perfect admittedly, is still perfectly fine nonetheless. Wikia want to tamper and change things that do not require the effort to be changed.

I am happy to see changes made that will have significant effect on a wiki's progress, but this is not progress. This is Facebook copy-catting!
