Hey Curt,
The more I use the forums, the more I think we should go back to lighter colors. I appreciate the good match to the MMC website color theme, but I'm friggin' old

, and for me it's a lot harder to read than the lighter colors such as used on Dan's Wismoto site.
Just my $0.02!

By the way, I sent out a broadcast e-mail about the forums to MMC members, so we should have some more activity here soon.
