Forum:Fed up!

We've had another complaint about ads. I'm extremely embarrassed by this. When someone posts a link to the wiki, I should feel confident that the site they see will a) look pleasant and b) not try to hijack their browser. I am sick of the ad situation. I'm tired of trying to convince Wikia that bad ad partners are worse than none at all, or convincing them that we need other options. Agatha should not be used to sell ad space over which we have no control. I'm also annoyed with what these ads do to the layout on the front page or on pages like this. We need to find a better solution, especially since most visitors to this wiki are not logged in and will see all of the ads we normally don't.

Until Wikia changes its policies or the wiki is moved, I'm going into administrative limbo. I'll help resolve issues and maintain things as they are, but I won't be updating articles, taking part in dicussions, or putting further work into this version of the wiki.

If the subject of ads matters to you at all, please speak up. Please, please, please post here, the livejournal groups, and the Yahoo group.

Regretfully,
