The title was mainly to get ppl to look at the forums, hence my first line with the wink.

The additional graphics tho used to change the iC and HW skins make them some of the few that use graphics to change the look of the software, for instance each cell for every table on the HW skin is skinned. Not many boards go to that length to modify the look. You have here and the post bit mods are teaching ppl how to do it for their forums aswell, yet before this website opened there was nothing to show ppl how to do those kind of mods, hence the lack of forums modded to that extent on the web. ( my reference to modded here refers to the template graphic mods and not php hacks )

I have seen a few graphic skinned forums about but none that really carry the theme thru, apart from this one (which you have built upon over time ) and the xelation forums featured in vb.org (which only really skinned the postbit heavily)

I think I see the forums as modified heavily due to the time I have spent on them. The HW skin took over 100 hours to implement, alot of that intergrating the code.

I make no claim to the most heavily modded forum out there but browsing vbb's i have seen little if anything in the way of fully customed boards. Mostly you see a color shift or 2 and maybe a category background, most still use the default purple buttons that come with the software even with a color shift to say, red or something equally contrasting.

The boards you would see here that make use of the mods that are posted are the exception to the rule, not the majority. Most forums out there just change the colors in the style properties (color shift) and that's it.

Saint if you look at your forums and then at others out there I would call your forums very heavily modified. Just because you stare at them everyday shouldn't change the fact that a board like this is probably in the top 5% of boards around the world that use this software.

If you can point me to more I'd love to see them but so far I've seen little that chages the template given to you with the software.
