The new forums have the old bran flakes look. Could you consider offering a vBulletin skin choice for those of us who prefer the ARR look, such as that used in the beta and the beta Lodestone preview? Only players who opt in would see the white text on dark grey design they prefer. Everyone who begged for the breakfast cereal look keeps the look they love.

Your forum software supports this, it's just a matter of design and vB config work to reuse the existing beta skin.
