Hehe. Judging from the poll results, neither am I.
As for requesting participation for desired changes, not everyone is a web designer. There is more than one way to participate, and few are better examples of that than Penguinbait. Please see this other post of mine. Besides, what Penguinbait is asking for (a) already exists and (b) wouldn't hurt the aspirations of the new design's supporters. Please see my post on that, too.

Personally I have a hard time be leaving people can't read a site that is black on white 90%+ of the sites our there are Black on White or Dark Test on light background. Google being one of the most visited sites in the world in black on white.

Are you saying it won't work even with a small amount of tweaking?
Next, if compatibility is the only problem, we ought to be able to have a Minimalistic Theme that looks approximately like what it looks like now, but with greater functionality than it currently exhibits. But you've said you're going to go for orange-on-white, etc. So "impracticality" (due to vBulletin constraints) appears to be an excuse, or not important, or just plain irrelevant, if you're going to go with a color-scheme etc. that many people have been objecting to.
So why don't you lay out the bottom line: Is it this notion that even the non-default options have to look like maemo.org?
