Okay, let me just state the ONE thing I care about.

Chat.

I have no opinion on the editing side, and frankly, I don't care. What makes this wiki great is the community. Take away all those articles, and you still have an enormous group of individuals banded together. Not to edit, but to socialize.

Sure, you make it sound like its great. Chat is customizable. Chat has HTML.

Here's the problem. HTML in the wrong hands is annoying. Sure, we can take care of it, but people spamming enormous letters in bright red font? Not to mention if its big enough, scrolling up to figure out who did it will take YEARS, especially if you've been on chat a while. Thus, rules will be made concerning the HTML, and eventually, it'll be just like the "hacking" situation on the LMB before the update. No colors, no HTML tomfoolery.

As for chat customization, I'm all for that, and with the approach of Darwin, we may have problems doing just that. But think, who is doing this customization? The only person who ever cared about that was Sherm, and he left. Sure, I bet we have the skills to do it, NXT and Drew can code pretty well, not to mention a bunch of other people I'm too lazy to name, but do you think it'll get done?

As for the ads, okay sure, we pick ads. But guess what. WE AREN'T IN CONTROL. The fact that ads are there(although I know its necessary) irritates me. These things always go one way. First, its only ads on the front page. Then its ads on all the pages. Then chat. Then every time you enter chat, an ad pops up.

Before you scream, "OBJECTION(As I know some of us love doing #aceattorney)", think. A lot of news and gaming sites have things like that. Think carefully.
