The phrasing "Should talk.maemo.org create and support ..." suggests that a) the people behind talk.maermo.org (primarily Reggie) owe you something or are at your beck and call and b) it's not something you/anyone else is capable of doing.
No-one's saying there won't be another theme, but why demand Reggie does it?

I filed a bug, talk.maemo.org is now part of maemo.org, so this becomes maemo.org's problem.
If it so easy that anyone can do it, why the hell isn't it getting done??

Reggie, please help me understand. Seriously....
At ITT you had multiple themes, why is it now suddenly way more work to continue the status quo, now that you have more people behind the site, it would seem to me to be easier to maintain.
What specifically is the adverse reaction to the themes.

And come September, I am going for a council position.

Perhaps because the paid people have a lot more important things to work on, the volunteers don't have a problem with the theme and also have more important things to work on, and the people who really seem to have a problem with the theme are more interested in reiterating their complaints at every opportunity than doing something about it.
We get it, you don't like the light theme. Your bug report has been filed. Now it's time for you to either fix it yourself or wait for somebody else to fix it. In the mean time, let's move on to more constructive pursuits.

I would use my Role as council member to get more people involved, and keep people more informed. I realize that you all have lots of information flying everywhere, but it is not organized nor easy to find.
Thus eliminating this problem from happening in the first place. If I could only time travel.....

No, you have not agreed to fix it yet, why would I concede.
I still hate George Bush, I just don't give up that easily....

What specifically it the adverse reaction to the themes.
I get that maemo.org merged to iTT.. ok, great, fantastic.
I get that some people like the new theme and want it by default (especially for new users).. ok, great, fantastic.
What I don't get is that we already had an iTT theme running before this theme, it's already built, already made, what's the problem with simply allowing a person, should they so choose, to select "original iTT theme" in the theme selection box? Nobody needs to make anything, or pay anyone. Unless that theme got deleted?
Did the forum software change to a non-compatible version? I see this is powered by vBulletin... I *know* that has extremely simple theme support for it.. was it not vBulletin before?? (I never paid attention).
I've been somewhat out of the loop for a bit.. but every so often I try and catch up on here but I am finding it difficult to with this new layout. I'm sure people love it, I know people put a lot of effort into it, and that's great... but much like the OS X theme(s) for Mac - this is just not my cup of tea.
There's even entire vbulletin forums with free themes available.. why do we need something custom?? *any* other option(s) beside the default, or minimalistic. Although, I think I'm preferring minimalistic.. except that it's - well - minimal in functionality.

For the concrete example of exactly how this was successfully done for exactly what the new theme would look like across maemo.org (including talk.maemo.org), see Tim's post on one of the myriad of other threads on this topic.
