One question though - why can we follow them like threads? ...so you have the option to stay updated on when someone replies to them? I'm mainly referring to the ones on other people's walls. That seems like an invasion of privacy to me. How is it an invasion of privacy exactly? What if I replied to said person's thread? Also, if you're seriously that keen to hiding something, why the hell are you putting it on a place where everyone can see it like a wiki?

...that seemed unnecessarily hostile.

Back the point, though. What if someone wants to discuss something with their friend in private, but they're unable to do it in something like Skype or Wiki chat? They're pretty much SOL. (Then again, that was still present with talkpages, but it wasn't smack dab in recent activity for all to see - you had to click the link to see what's up.) I guess I can see the point, however, I'm not a member of Wikia's engineering team meaning that the only solution is to remove message walls and article comments.
