We've have the same SMF theme now, since Daniel picked it back in 2005. It is 10 years old.
I was wondering if we shouldn't pick a new one? Something a bit more modern. Also, why would we want to copy the other site? We are way past that. We have a superior site.
Maybe a fresh look and feel would be beneficial? Also suggest that our ideas aren't as old as our web page.
Some of the new ones are really rather nice.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2836 nice and simple ... then cover in our logos and background?
There are 700 or so themes. Why do we have the one Daniel choose in 2005 still? If we want to be taken seriously in our own right, we need to cut the ties with the other mess so we aren't associated with it.
Anyone else think a fresh look and feel might be nice? We could leave this old one as an option for all those that hate change. But for new users, I think we should try to project a sleek and eye-catching site. Might also be the final straw for members of the super slow rival site, and have them come here where things are awesome and nice so we'd get more users. :-)
