I guess there was a tiny bit of bias? But either way, I softened the blow, as to not make it seem like we're the ones that always know better. I just want to highlight how the different features are DIFFERENT, I don't want to bash them.

 ;Blog system:
-The blog system is... weird, to say the least. No normal wiki has it. When you want to communicate with somebody, you use a talk page, like [[User talk:Espyo]]. To comment on an article, use the corresponding talk page, like [[Talk:Red Bulborb]]. The Wikia way of using a chat mural is a bit splattered. You might find the regular system we use different, but not necessarily worse. It might take some getting used to, because you have to indent your replies, but there are help pages on the wiki that assist with that.
+The blog system is... well, it's a different way to implement a feature that's already standard in wikis. No normal wiki has discussions like Wikia does. When you want to communicate with somebody, you use a talk page, like [[User talk:Espyo]]. To comment on an article, use the corresponding talk page, like [[Talk:Red Bulborb]]. The Wikia way of using a chat mural is a bit splattered, and although it's more seamless, it's not really a thing most wikis would need. You might find the regular system we use different, but not necessarily worse. It could take a small bit of time to get used to, because you have to indent your replies, but there are help pages on the wiki that assist with that.
 ;Avatars and achievements:
-These are a bit useless, sometimes. They're mostly cosmetic things that treat the wiki as if it were a forum or a game, respectively. There are mixed reactions about these features through the internet, but either way, we have no way of bringing them to Pikipedia. They aren't that useful to begin with. An avatar helps identify you, but so does a regular signature (which you can put on a talk page by typing <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). As for the achievements, they might be fun and sometimes useful, but they're not very diverse, so you won't really miss them that much after a bit.
