The theme and the fonts on this forum suck. This is not a troll or anything. The fonts are too small and the contrast is poor.
Just clicking on the Daily Server Deals shows you pages which are much easier on the eye.
With all the issues on LET and LEB why don't the admins spruce it up and draw more traffic, as there don't seem to be any deals there which don't show up here other than those fronting Colocrossing/Chicago VPS.
Aesthetics matter.
Sorry the theme isn't to your liking. There is a 'vpsBoard Dark' theme available in the 'Change Theme' feature in the footer, however keep in mind it probably doesn't look better and may break some things. I'm open to adding additional themes as options, though don't feel comfortable changing the entire site design unless it's a community voted thing.

Really? It hurts my eyes, too bright. I like dark themes, but no one else does.
DSD is going to get a makeover when I can get around to doing it or whenever I pay someone to integrate a theme into it.

Haha, really? Check out DailyServerDeals, use the 'Find a Plan' tool. I don't think anyone has even posted a Colocrossing offer, yet. There is a slew of solid providers represented here utilizing diverse networks and upstreams, certainly not limited to the run-of-the-mill CC locations as fronted on LEB/LET.
Why not poke around
http://community.invisionpower.com/files/category/110-skins-templates-themes/ and see what you like?
If you know of any places that has some paid themes that might also work.
I'm sure if there was a major community backing of a single paid theme he'd consider it if the price isn't too high.

This. May be worth starting a thread to get community input. I don't mind getting a new theme for the forum that is an option to logged in users.
To be honest it is not so much the theme, it is more the contrast and the fonts. The kerning on the small size fonts doesn't seem right and perhaps brown pastel colours don't look too good. The Popular Tags for instance are hardly visible except for the bold ones. The main text areas are okay. I think it is more a matter of editing the CSS than anything else.
I was actually going to remove the tag cloud because it seemed like wasted space that wasn't being used anyway. Though now that I see someone uses it (even if it's hard to see), I'll see about keeping it and just making it easier to see. Thoughts?
Admins are usually too busy being admins.
Seriously, keep the the trouble parts of the "design" coming / issues.
Current theme looks/works well for me, but I realize others might have inferior experience.
The existing theme hurts my eyes a lot less than the green of LET, but if I had it my way I'd be using dark colors all day. Sadly no one else likes dark themes.
@OP what browser are you using?
