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. 1234 ~ 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. Sir Georgie • Harangue • Mediocracy 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

Ugh god. Why, Wikia! Why? DAMN YOU TO A LIFE OF DAMNATION! --EpicAwesomeness (talk) 17:13, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure I won't be alone in saying "fuck Wikia". --UU - natter 20:31, Sep 28

Allow me to join you. Fuck Wikia. -RAHB 23:10, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Fuck Wikia times infinity. I win. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:14, 28 September 2011

I sure as hell hope they don't get rid of user talk pages. Because if they do, there will be hell to pay. ~ might • fire • his • lazer 02:09, 09/29/2011

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. Time for some code-wizardry... -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. 04:06 September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Does that mean the same as "fuck Wikia"? --UU - natter 07:40, Sep 29

If by that, you mean Wikia should have a certain male organ inserted into its exhaust port, then yes. -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. 07:46 September 29, 2011 (UTC)

in the other hand we dont have blogs.--FcukmanLOOS3R!!! 10:16, October 1, 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 Uncyclopedian Meganew (Chat) (Care for a peek at my work?) (SUCK IT, FROGGY!) 20:10, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

I would rather get the word from Sannse on this issue than anyone issuing 'We're All Doomed' statements just yet. There has been enough drama this month as it is. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 16:57, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

I already knew wikia sucked ass, but...

This has gone to new heights of douchebagness. HELL NO!!! →A (Ruins) 17:46, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

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) ~ Sat, Oct 1 '11 10:12 (UTC)

I agree even though I have the fastest internet in the world, this is still going to put a damper on things. →A (Ruins) 14:11, October 1, 2011 (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 (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 14:32, 1 October 2011

Yeah. I'm for that. -RAHB 22:32, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Me too, as long as it involves nude women or money. --EpicAwesomeness (talk) 08:38, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

....What's your deal, man? -RAHB 23:06, October 2, 2011 (UTC) Oh. Never mind then. -RAHB 23:55, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

My guess would be that he has no sense of social convention. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:58, 2 October 2011

That would be a fair guess. -RAHB 00:05, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
