I think many of those huge boards that look poorly designed look like this because 1. they were started some time ago (when the designs were different) and 2. the owners don't know or don't care about the design. I agree that some members don't care about how the forums look, but I can't sleep at night if I have something not showing nice or the design is poor. But I am mainly a designer and then a content writer and for a small forum as mine every detail counts.
I would like to be one of those bug-boards one day, but the looks will remain important, as the quality of content I realy care about. When you keep an eye on the quality of the posts and enforce it, it's harder to get to amazing postcounts, but in the end this is not what I want. I want to give my members a friendly place to stay and good content to help them.
