Forum:The end is nigh!

Everyone who is one the Monaco Skin, Brace yourself.


 * Bad News piece one.
 * Bad news piece two.

Yes. Wikia are killing off Monaco AND Widgets. Because off the above links, I am quitting Halo Fanon unless HF moves. (Unlikely but there you go.) I know that my days, maybe Tuckers, Oni's, LOMI's and Kat's, are numbered. Yonde itadaki arigatōgozaimasu, The Halfblood Prepare,   for   the   Enveloping   Darkness  15:06, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Jesus! I didn't expect this much noise!

@Matt: Monaco is the only one I can use without my head spliting open from pain. Also, most of the templates were designed for Monaco.

@LOMI: *spits out half of my cappacino* SAY WHAT!?! I thought Ajax was the only one who swore.

@118: Could try where Halopedia's going I suppose.

@LOMI(Again): That's why I joined the Anti Wikia Alliance on the Community Central.

@Tuck: As per Forum:WTF?

@118(Again): While I'm sure that won't make Wikia happy, That could work.

@Ajax: Because more people may quit.

I was expecting a ban, but instead, we're going like wildfire! *looks at LOMI's post where he swore.* Yonde itadaki arigatōgozaimasu, The Halfblood Prepare,   for   the   Enveloping   Darkness  18:55, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait, wait. This new skin irritated LOMI enough to swear? Oh dear, the end is neigh!

Shoutwiki is capable of moving us with ease and they wil eventualy make there Monaco version avalible, or you can alter your CSS so that evil bar goes to the bottom, and no as long as you alter your own Css the Terms of use are not violatedEcho 1125 19:30, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * RecentChanges can be found under My Tools feature. *points at the lower right text*
 * And yes, writing fanon now would no longer be fun because of the restrictions imposed on the wiki. The point of fanon is to have fun doing it and having a degree of freedom. Of course, I can create a template that would hide the advertisements and what-not, but that would get me blocked globally. So, if anything, *points at Wikia* -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 20:45, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

What's the point of using those coding if all others are seeing it in a simple coding-absent view. You might enjoy reading yours in full-width and advertisement-free but other won't. Hence, why I avoid using customised css that alters my own display and not others. It should always be everyone getting the same treatment. -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 21:48, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hai Guz....okay on a more serious note. No, I am not back...yes I am still busy. I do have time though to create fund ya'lls website. (Though I can't promise much activity from me mind you!) But yeah, I would be more than happy to provide a the money and the space for you guys to continue creating fanon. I know that without Halo Fanon...or even Halo in general, I wouldn't have gotten interested as much as I am into Film Making. So, if you guys so desired, I can at least start up the website and hand it over to you guys from there.--H*bad (talk) 00:50, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

 * Or just by November 3rd. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 21:09, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Halfblood, while I support the move, you do know that until November 3rd, you can set your view to Monaco with the My Preferences settings? Hopefully, we'll have moved by then.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 21:50, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Can you guys compare wiki skins without objectifying women? Just saying. --Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 18:26, October 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not exactly clear on the comparison (I like both actors), but it's better. I really think it's in bad form, especially using the word "bitch". Considering you guys are admins, you should know better. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 18:35, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

The way the world works is that it's set up to have men dominant and women submissive. Not how I'd like it, but that's how it is. When a woman doesn't appear as submissive, she tends to be considered either as hot (which ultimately still works within the same paradigm) or as a "bitch". When you straight guys talk about objects as hot or bitchy women, you are expressing that dominance. As straight guys, you can't really objectify men in the same way, and even if you were gay it would be in a different context. So, yes, it is better, if not perfect. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 21:23, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

IMO, let's just stick with Monaco for now and hope that Wikia changes the new skin. If it continues to stay a piece of shit, then we can decide what to do.

Sona is half-right. I do enjoy some quotes, but I don't mean to steal sig quotes. Anyway, our fate has bean sealed.

 * The new skin requires quite a while to get used to, but it is indeed an improvement in some areas (I kinda like the theme designer, but disliking the simplicity and new terms of use). It's simply useless to say Monaco would remain after November 2nd; it's gonna get removed and Oasis will become the default skin, as Wikia stated before.

I don't. Without Liam's fix, Oasis is a huge fucking clusterfuck that hurts my eyes. With Liam's fix, the pages become so wide that they no longer fully fit into my browser.

While 118's fix does actually make it tolerable, I do have one issue with it: The apparent lack of a search bar on mainspace pages. Any help?--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 21:43, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * @TAS: If you're using Firefox and have enabled the Search Box (the one on the upper right), you can add HaloFanon Wiki Search to that box. Simply click the drop down button and there should be a  selection.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:50, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

I say wait it out and hope that Wikia will improve on it, or at least make it decent. If it still sucks after a week or so, and we have found no way of making it truly bearable, then we should put forward a vote on the matter.

 * The question is, do we need to export all articles to the new wiki? Most of the content are very old and no longer maintained by their authors. If we start fresh, we can clearly be more organised and work more efficiently. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:51, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

What we could do is move to Halopedia's domain, but occupy a separate part/section of it, kinda like how some of the other Wikis are centered around the same subject have moved.
