Hey,
I think this is a rather interesting topic, I've done some research on this one and it seems that the design isin't very important. However; I still am not convinced that the design doesn't matter, but one thing made me think deeper yesterday.
Isin't content usually the king? I was thinking and I came to this conclusion, design sometimes makes the user register as he probably thinks "wow, nice design, I'll sign up" however the main reason of getting that user to revisit your forum is the content.
I had a look at Big Boards and found it rather interesting, as the top boards really have simple layouts, some based on the default skins of that forum platform.
Lets start an interesting discussion :winkiss:
