User blog comment:War Clown/Anyone here (besides me) want a new skin for the wiki?/@comment-6517-20100905211203

As much as I hate the edit box, as its non-source code version completely mucks up every single type of edit one can make (Quotes anyone?), the Monaco theme is efficient and good, presentation-wise.

Wikia reason to change the skin is simply "time for a change", which in my books is neither valid nor necessary. Granted, they could create an additional skin and promote it, but by removing Monaco, they're forcing users hands.
