This is a very interesting thread! Lots of good thoughts and advice being posted. Mone' gives some very good advice. There are more people making great skins than I think most know about. vBStyles and Extremepixels have really nice "off the rack" styles for what they charge for them as does Transverse and Cinvin and vBCore. I think most people don't have the extreme dollars to invest in something really unique but would like to have that. I think we all agree that the vB platform is the best forum product out there, but what I would really like to see is something totally radical..."thinking out of the box" type application of a style...I'm not sure I know how to describe it better, but even the best custom styles I've seen still look like vB (not that thats bad, but does anyone else know what I mean?). I suppose unless things were completely redesigned as far as vB goes thats not possible...anyway...sorry to ramble
