Gosh, Alliedmodders would look beautiful and more entertaining if it looked something like

http://www.stackoverflow.com, 100% of programmers should know this website, but it would be nice for Alliedmodders to change theme it's been a long time with this now.

Just a suggestion.

Have a good day all:_)

I actually dislike the look of those types of sites. This is a Forum, not a Q&A site. I personally think the theme is just fine

I've always wondered why AM didn't opt in for XenForo. The notification feature REALLY helps me track the threads I am involved in.

Until very recently they were under serious legal threat - and had no development or support going on, it would've been very silly for anyone to purchase a license for it during that time.

That blew over without any significant development and xF had a sale afterwards. Looks like full steam ahead for this software. Also, the xF Resource Manager would be a very lovely content delivery system for plugins.

Please no, I dislike XenForo. It reminds too much of the things I dislike about vB5

This blue goes better with the logo and the theme of both amxmodx.org and sourcemod.net

Yami, you must understand that everything changes. I meant the design structure not the colors and such, I'd much rather see a this question in the way that StackOverflow question is designed.

I will make a concept with the little free time for showcase.

Also for most people who haven't noticed, a forum is also a question and answer, and so is Alliedmodders.

Re-themeing the forum in it's current state would be a waste of item and effort, the underlying forum software is EOL (this is something we're investigating, but with a community of this size it's a slow process).

EDIT: Any changes to the theme would maintain the current overall layout regardless of other factors, it works well for the community and the is no point in change for the sake of change.

However, I will grant you guys some mocks I was working on for the main sites, to bring them together into a more unified design. This is the first time they've been seen outside the staff, so, ssssssssssssssh .
