I am really disgruntled at the state of wetpaint. I have not been at all interested in editing anything since the last time you have reorginized wetpaint. I wish you hadn't gotten rid of the box on the right side that showed recent contributions. That was very nice because I could see if anyone had contributed anything recently, so I would click on it to see what they did, and that would incite me to add something of my own. Now I simply am not inspired to add anything to my sites. The new format looks really tacky. I wish you would just leave the format the same, or at least give the users a choice of whether they want to switch over to a new format.

anymore. I am also very upset about the large video ads on the side of the page. One thing I liked about wetpaint and used it for so many things was because it just had small, ads by google that weren't intrusive and were usually related to the subject you were working on. Hence I prefered to use wetpaint over other free sites. Now, I a, just disgusted by the large ads. And there's even an ad on our Magistra G's Latin Wiki site, which we worked hard on and got approved to be an ad-free website. Now it feels like wetpaint is betraying us. We're seriously considering to switching to a different free website because of all this.

Thanks for the Feedback! Jeremy and Jason will be able to do more about that. I have no control over Feedback and getting it to the Dev Team. But, Those aren't video ads, they are Animated Banner Ads. Video ads would look more like YouTube Videos.
