Hello there. I would like to make a proposal for a temporary change on this wiki.

For those who are unaware, according to this blog:


 * "Currently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is debating legislation regarding limitations for internet service providers, making rules that might allow them to discriminate against smaller or less well-funded web companies."

Simply put, Wikia relies on network neutrality. As the blog states, "certain cable companies" wish to charge websites additional fees to deliver content. For any website that disagrees, they will be bogged with slowdown and lengthy loading times, and I doubt anyone wants that.

The internet is about free and open communication, and essentially, Wikia will not be able to sustain its normal, high-speed display without paying a toll.

So, how do we act upon it? By displaying our front page with this banner. Setup instructions are available on the blog linked from earlier.

If anyone agrees with this idea, please cast your vote. Thanks.
