True, I'd probably get used to the designs. After all, you can't really deny that they're slick and quite professional looking, except I just don't find them as suiting here. There's a time for wicked graphics, and there's a time for plain sophistication where forum personality is the attraction. The Oddworld games don't show off trendy, futuristic-esque details and such; I don't think the forums should either.
Also, although I don't like exhibiting anything to be taken as arrogance, this is one matter where I believe the older-standing forum members should have a more important say. We've been here longer, we know more of the forum taste and tradition.

OW not future-esque? That's subjective, but in my opinion, OW is vintage looking industrial machinary on a future-esque scale.
Older forum mebmers are actually not more or less important than new members in this. We won't settle for a design until EVERYBODY likes it. Old, new, everybody. So while your long stay may be appreciated, it is not required.
This way, the new members don't mess it up for the old ones, and the old members don't mess it up for the new ones. It's a balanced, overall appreciated appearance that represents the tastes of OW fans. We each get an equal say it what it ends up being, and to that end, it truly represents OWF.
