Forum:Talk page deactivation
User talkpages on Wikia are apparently going to be deactivated, to be replaced with something that is apparently rather like facebook, except apparently buggier.
I guess I figured it merits discussion. To what end I'm not sure, but I suppose we'll find out. 1 2 3 4 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 16:35, 28 September 2011
- Even though this will probably turn out to be a waste of time, many users have signed this to express how much they don't want the talk pages to be replaced. -- Lost Labyrinth It's Britain bitch! • (t) • (c) • (a) 16:49, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
Are you blowing me? Why in monkey hell would they mess with a good thing????????? The talk pages are fine, they are fun, and that other one looks like a yuppie's wetdream. Idiots. Maybe if all you admins protest as a group they will just let well enough 'lone. Aleister 16:52 28-9-'11

- Maybe they'll make another exception for us, since we are trying to be just like Wikipedia. In any case, I don't like Facebook's design, but that's okay. I'll just make a separate usserpage and format it like a talk page, then direct all "Facebooktalk" visitors to the fixed page.

- Does that mean the same as "fuck Wikia"? --UU - natter UU Manhole.gif 07:40, Sep 29
- If by that, you mean Wikia should have a certain male organ inserted into its exhaust port, then yes. -- Tinypony.gif Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. Rap sheet. [[::File:Sexy_twilight.jpeg|His shameless obsession.]] 07:46 September 29, 2011 (UTC)

I warned ya
I warned you Wikia would do something like this, and none of you believed me. I told you so. --Revolutionary, Anti-Bensonist, and TYATU Boss (削除) Uncyclopedian (削除ここまで) Meganew (Chat) (Care for a peek at my work?) (SUCK IT, FROGGY!) 20:10, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

I already knew wikia sucked ass, but...

If this happens, I'll be leaving.
Yeah, uh...I have THE WORLD'S SLOWEST INTERNET, so I use ad-blocking, and I turn off JavaScript. If this intellectually-deficient stunt requires me to turn JavaScript back on in my browser...I'm sorry folks, but I won't be taking part in such foolishness. I'd rather just FOAD than stare at my browser for 15 minutes while a page loads. ~ BB ~ (T) Icons-flag-us.png ~ Sat, Oct 1 '11 10:12 (UTC)

- If it really comes to the User talk namespace being disabled, we can always invent a new user talk namespace and call it "Usertalk", for instance. Getting everything to work exactly the same as it would with the current user talkspace might be hard to achieve, but coming up with something approximate that works well enough shouldn't be too difficult. —Sir Socky Sexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk) Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 14:32, 1 October 2011
