I had this too at one time. But I wanted new too. So I accidently on pupose crashed my server and my backups just wouldnt work (so I said). So I upgraded everything and made new styles and laid out the forums totally differently. The site was down for a couple of days and I made a nice page explaining the situation and apologizing for the inconvenience. When it all came back they were just grateful that it was back and didnt complain much at all. And after they were used to the changes they liked it much better. Dont let them think they have a choice. Sneaky way but its effective.
