XenForo sucks. It's feels like the kiss of death. Besides looking like everyone else.

Checked out those other boards to compare to.

Two questions:

Is there a dark theme option?

Can we still have signatures?

I like the features of the new software. But I absolutely prefer the look and layout of this forum as it is. Honestly, this is one of the more elegant and simple forums I have hung around on.

Will you be setting up a lifeboat forum in case the upgrade shits the bed? You could call it something like Guitar Amp Board. Could be cool. :rofl:

Good. TGP and some other forums I frequent all seem a little too.... "Gadget-y". There is too much clutter.

Or maybe Gay Gear Flippers, along with a little flame logo like they now have on rig talk?

I mean if Gear Slutz doesn't take the wonderfully suggested name of Gear Gobblers from the thread the other day we could use that and still be GGF. :lol:

Just saw the new Rig Talk logo. I like it. That said, the goal with the new layout is to keep as close as we current have, including the logo. This will be more of an upgrade in functionality.
