User blog comment:Lancer1289/Wikia's Next Major Blunder in the Making/@comment-1619838-20110929142143

The issue is that most talk pages are for something constructive to the wikia, and are considered to mainly be the "personal property" of the owner of the talk page. If this new feature is passed, it wil be hard to have a large conversation or vote about things relating to the wiki, without it being archived in noneditable archives after 20 comments. Many (myself included) believe that blogs are and chat (some wikias have a IM chat feature) are for socializing, talk pages are for work, of course this being defined by the "owner" of the talk page. This new feature appears to prevent you from writing a "welcome" message on your talk page in the case of Lancer's, a message telling how to respond.
