Im not trying to offend anyone but its not very organized. It needs an easier way to get to forums and post. It also needs to be updated. 2d squares is kinda boring especially when they are all the same color. This site needs some fixing up. No offence.

We're not retarded, we're just *******s. There's a difference.
Also, please use the edit feature in the future, rather than making a new post (double post).
However, I would like a removal of the language filter. Personally, I don't care about the little children, and I don't think swearing always correlates with immaturity, either.

Now that'd be nice. It could even be a user option, as I've seen on other forums.
So, ok, I'll bite...
Forum design: We stick with the standard stock VBulletin theme because using custom themes makes updating to the latest version of VBulletin a big pain in the Limbaugh. Custom themes open the door to a barrage of compliance issues.
Color scheme: You can't please everyone at the same time. 90% of our active members, the people we love around here, have been here for years. Any time the slightest thing is changed it sparks a committee discussion about if it's a good change or not. If we changed the color scheme pandemonium would unfold and the balance of the universe would be threatened. Marvin would speak perfect english, Dante would stop out-doing himself with freakish threads, Wabba would convert to Hinduism and GoPre would become mortal. We just can't mess with the balance like that.
Plus, though he denies it, Lib's an uber Jets fan and that's the reason I believe everything's green around here.
Organization: This I'm curious on. How better could the forum sections be structured? This may be a topic open for discussion if a logical and intelligent case is made.
Sorry you caught such a backlash, we're just breaking you in. It's how we scare off the people that ask for an RPG/Fanfic writing section.

We brought this up before and atleast a couple Moderators were against it. Im all for it though. may have to be reconsidered.
Lifting the censor filter doesnt mean everybody will all of a sudden be cursing left and right. Maybe 5 years ago...yea. but not now.. We've grown up a lot since.. (not me personally , but the forums in general yes)

With more then 1 custom theme, yes it sucks over the long haul.

Plus the longer (in years) the color remains the same...the more people that'll complain once its gone. They may feel detached.

The basics on how to act like a FoxNews Channel anchor -
Talk in a 'manly' & 'threatening' manner...and add a little 'fear' to your tone... Also, make sure to have a look on your face like the end of the world is near. Especially when talking about Obama. Do this, and you'll get 90% of the dumb ones (all races) in this Country to believe everything you say.
For the color scheme, isn't it possible to make different ones available without messing with the thing too much? Make a little option thingy at the bottom of the page or in "UserCP" where people can choose a different color scheme (ex: Red, Green, Blue, Black). It would only change the colored parts of the page, not the blank black background or font color.
Sorry if that's hard to understand. I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to computer stuff.

Always sounds much easier on paper. Its not just the 50+ color variables that have to be messed around with.. all the small button images have to be redone as well as new ones created for when new versions of vBulletin are released.
Color stays the same for now...maybe next year we can discuss again. But if the color is ever changed , it'll just be 1 main color theme. Which means the green would go.

I have always found this site to be EASY to search through. Maybe it's because I've been here a long time or you're just used to a different forums layout.
In my opinion, this is WAY easier to navigate then say, Xbox or PS forums. They have the most cluttered, unorganized mess of mumbo jumbo I've ever seen.
In your opinion, how are you having problems navigating these forums? Maybe I can help with some advice or something because it is actually REALLY easy.
And damn, some of you really like scaring away new people huh?
This site needs to be more organized 
, but the forums in general yes)
