Hello, I don't want to sound rude, but before enforcing it you must have discussed with the administration and the community too. You guys simply gave a command to do it without asking us for our opinions. I oppose the way you did without consulting us and I'm against this idea! ... We are responsible for the wiki and we must have the final say like you guys. Part of the reason we wanted to reach out before flipping the switch was out of respect for our larger and more prominent wikis like Club Penguin. However, we're talking about compliance with a federal law, so this isn't the type of thing we have room to compromise and negotiate with the user base. Unlike a new skin or product design, there isn't a whole lot of wiggle room for Wikia when it comes to obeying the law. I am sorry for the upset, and I understand why this community feels this way.
