Hm. It's rare that I truly put faith in Wikia changes, much less major changes for the sake of mobile compatibility in general, but this time I'm optimistic.

It better have every single capability of the Forums themselves, though, or at least a nigh-identical equivalent to our current formatting and markup tools, before I could ever accept it replacing forums. Oh, and, you know, the archives.

I mean, really, the forums are already just fine on mobile, and if we lose anything in the conversion (especially if it affects other Wikias), then it's not worth it. Should it come close to a release announcement without these taken into consideration, I can forsee the first moot in ages of this site being hardcore users and veterans of the forums against new blood that never bothers even glancing at the system in a bloody bout of capability versus minor usability improvements.

Ultimately, like most anything, it would probably sway in favor of the light-use crowd who don't use it, rather than the people who actually keep this site alive as it currently is. Of course, a new culture will be built, but very few of the veterans are likely to stay active, I predict.

So, Wikia, do everyone a favor: DON'T FUCK IT UP.
