How many mods have been appointed who were active in the forum, but who are not active in maemo.org? That would be the cooperative thing to do to show that you respect the interests of other forum members who are not maemo.org centric.
* Is this list complete and up to date? Tim, are you a mod?
EDIT: According to Tim's title he is. He doesn't seem the type to play the heavy though.

I thought "forum features will be retained" meant that the themes will still be available. I don't care what is the default theme, as long as I may choose a reasonable one.

I use the forum less these days, but that's mostly due to the content - lots of stuff for programmers, some for "newbies" (I find that term really insulting, btw), but not a lot for non-programmers who have been using the tablets for a while. Lately, I've been coming to read Krisse's material, which I find align with my own thoughts.
But enough about me. How are you?
<looks at forum layout>
Well, scroll down a little bit, and the right 1/3 of the screen is empty. Why is that? And the theme is incredibly bright, although so is the sun coming through the window. So my eyes aren't burning, but I have a headache from looking to the left.
Reggie, have you tried reversing the black/white elements on the forum? You'd still have the Maemo look, but that might make Talk the 'yin' to the Nokia Maemo 'yang'. (And please, people, don't lecture me about the subtleties of Nokia's involvement, just focus on the layout...)

B Sure, every new design will take some time to get used to, but... Does anyone remember how long it took to get used to the N810-ish design of itT?

you make it sound like maemo.org was some barbarian army that won a battle against the itt crowd.
maemo.org is what we call the community of people who care about internet tablets and Maemo.
maemo.org isn't "them". it's you. you're part of it, like it or not.

Back on subject... I never came to itT or talk.maemo.org because of how the site looked.

(Seriously, I find it very contradictory to my way of thinking.)
In any regard, I have no problem viewing the new site (i.e., my eyes have never "burned" from looking at it). Sure, every new design will take some time to get used to, but... Does anyone remember how long it took to get used to the N810-ish design of itT?
But, that is the way of humanity, isn't it? No memory of history and quick, gut reactions to things that are different.
