To be honest I don't actually know how much control even Wikia Staff have over this, since they are paid employees, and thus a lot of the stuff they do, is done because they're being paid to do it. The Wikia Employers are the true masterminds behind this.

I'm not satisfied with the discussions in their current state, but I do hope that once the time comes where we are forced into using them instead of the new forums, Staff will have actually have made some significant improvements, so that we'll actually be able to cope with them.

Many users, myself included, complained about the new wikia nav-bar, but we had no choice but to let it happen, and I have long since gotten used to it. I no longer have a problem with the wikia nav-bar in it's current state and I hope that the same will apply with the discussions.

and not anymore than Comments on articles were an advancement of the talk page. If folk don't think it'll work for their wiki (again, esp. in its current format, which serves the mobile users more than wikis primary base of desktop users), then, like a lot people here have said repeatedly, there should be an opt out just like there's an opt out for the comment function on wiki articles. Not sure if this will be of any relevance to you, but there is some Java Script that allows both talk pages and comments to be enabled on a wiki.
