It was annoying? How so? What was it doing?
Thought I already replied to this, guess I didn't.
Anyways, it was the best we got. I found others skins, but none were readable, or looked even more monotone. To make matters worse, everytime we tried to introduce borders, it would get all crazy on us and revert back to the default forum skin. I found others, but most were pretty poor.
If you can find a SMFfree compatible skin that is better, let us know and we'll look into it. We're open to ideas and suggestions.
I think that's what make was talking about.
