First off, a couple links: There's this, for a rundown of what's been happening with the new skin. There's also this, my personal ranting angry blog about it, which also sorta tells about it from a more personal view. Now to the blog itself here.
Well guys, this is it. The last day that Monaco will exist as a skin option, after that it shall only be a memory. Enjoy it while you can. We had a good run with it. We went through a couple custom themes here, both of 'em good. Now we gotta deal with oasis. I figure we'll probably get used to this eventually, but it'll never be the same (or as good) as Monaco. Be aware though, Monobook is still a personal option.
Well, that's all I got for now. I'm going to enjoy my last day of content browsing and editing with a good skin.

UPDATE: A couple new things here. First off read this link. It really shows how oasis coulda been nice, and it breaks down the good/bad of both skins. This user really is the best commentor on the new skin, and if the staff had listened to her then oasis coulda been nice. Hell, if they'd listened to any of the thoughtful commentors it coulda been nice. Too bad they freakin' didn't. I'll probably post a bit more later. Frank-West 12:26, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
