Seriously, gradients are so past it and the amount of CSS used to implement them is ridiculous. The flat design is a trend across the whole of the w3 and Wikia are simply following it."

Sorry, but what? From what I understood, you basically said "Harder designs are hard, so we should stick with simple, trendy ones". That doesn't make much sense, wikia profits a lot so they should put effort into making something cool and original. I could literally make the same thing in less than an hour (logos included).

Viewers should be reading articles, not talk page messages. I'm fine with taking curses out of articles, but I want to be able to curse in chat.

No, I said that using gradients in web design have gone completely out of fashion and I'm glad Wikia have ditched theirs. The fact that legacy browser support is patchy and they require such a large amount of CSS to implement across browsers is just another reason to avoid using them.
