Complications en route to new forum release.

Your reasoning is flawed.

You seem to be under the impression you need a maoosively good designer to bring top-notch work. It doesn't work like that. The way a great design is constructed is through other means.. extensive research, critique, ideologies etc. Most of us are fully capable.

Just take a look at http://hostingdiscussion.com, this is no dig at Artashes nor http://emblematiq.com. How many of you would honestly say your interest would not dwindle should TF get similar visuals?

http://4design.tv, good designer(s) and proven, yet shoved crap out the door. I hope you're getting the jist of this.

I feel obliged to prove those who have little to no faith in our community wrong. (:
