Honestly, the pink and green theme was pretty, but probably not appropriate for an all guy forum, so you're right about that.

It may be more bland, but notice how the colors now match the header buttons you like to use (I'd still go with plain text links, BTW). Now I no longer feel like I'm at a totally unrelated site when clicking between your text pages and your forum pages.

Also, I don't go to any website because it's pretty; I want information or some capability. So long as the design is clean and helps me use or read the site, it's good. Just check your own browsing habits; besides photography sites, do you visit and stay AND return to any websites for long purely because of its design and colors? Probably not...

W: True. But if I go to a site or forum regularly, it's nice to have something to look at

whether it's girls or colors. hehehe

Sure the menu matches the table bar colors. But some colors look good together, like dark red and blue for example. Didn't you like the RedSilver theme? Red and blue look good on Superman

Do you think Superman looks better with a blue suit and red cape, or blue suit and blue cape? hehehe

Also, when you wear clothes, isn't it better to have more than one color in your outfit usually? See what I mean?

Wuming, by the way, what do you think of the picture layout around the new header of the home page? I put some pretty hot girls there, but not pics of girls and me.
