What is a new theme actually going to do?

The design is not the reason people come to this forum. It's the discussion, the activity, the marketplace. This place used to be 'happening', there were always new threads and interesting ones! I see maybe one or two new topics every month in the general discussion bit, I used to go out of my way to post one or two every day! Likewise, in the other forums to encourage posts.

I don't think people have become bored of forums but this place has lost it's appeal because you just know there is nothing new to read and there are far more active communities.
