I would say a year ago a common complaint was the lack of themes for MyBB. But I've noticed these past couple months a surge in good quality themes being released here as well as being showcased on new forums.
MyBB has finally broken what appears to have been it's final barrier in gaining global respect and success.
Thanks to everyone that designs themes and those new sys admins starting wonderful new forums with good designs. I remember when a good portion of showcase domains were run with default theme. I hardly see that anymore at all.
Great job everyone.
nice
well done all
That is very true. I remember some of those amazingly simple themes, they were nothing compared to some of the actual themes available today.

I agree, but people are also very tough on anyone that showcases a forum without a custom theme. If someone uses Afresh or Apart, people get their rage on and abuse them. I've even seen people get angry at someone for using a theme similar to another site. A lot of people are spending money on custom themes today because of this childish and judgemental people, which I can understand is a good thing, but may also be percevied to be a bad thing.
That sadi I still don't see why using either theme series is a bad thing. They're both amazingly well-designed theme series, so people should just can their rage and give some detailed constructive criticism and not tell the owner of the forum it's bad that they're using Afresh or Apart. Pokemon Acanthite's forums use the entire Afresh theme series (albeit renamed), and that place is an amazing place to be for Pokemon fans.
Now if only my theme thread would get approved :rage:

It is no surprise though. There is a reason a theme set is over used and it is because it is designed so well. Pirate Bay uses Afresh for their forum and on MoshForums I used Afresh Midnight for quite some time.
It also has to do with alphabetization too, though. If users spotted other themes that looked as good first they'd use 'em a lot moar too.
GLORIOUS GLORY IT'S FINALLY APPROVED (<3 whoever did) /shouting

Maybe they just want their site to look beautiful
MyBB is becoming better and better - better core, plugins, themes.
MyBB FTW!!!!
