I used to prepare dark styles and i loved to use them but lately my eyes can only handle light colors and light colors always look way cleaner then dark styles.
I believe it all depends on the type of forum in which you are running.
For example, rock forums and gaming forums tend to usually have a darker skin from my experience. Forums for things such as webmaster discussion or forums such as vbulletin usually have a light color scheme.

You're right but what about game titles such as Final Fantasy & Metal Gear? They're supposed to be running on dark or light skins?
medium to light skins. They just look cleaner, neater, more attractive, to me. I really do NOT like dark skins. But some of my forum members do, which is why I have several skins for my members to choose from if they don't want to use our custom default skin.
I like light and dark skins - Some don't suit the forum, and make it look bad or depressing, but for a gaming forum a dark skin is almost a "must-have" feature of your forum - Most gamers are sad depressed loners anyway, so dark skins won't make them any more suicidal
