I know that new skins are expensive, but I was thinking it'd be a cool idea to maybe make a new one. I don't know how they are made, and etc. And even though I haven't been here for a week yet, but I really don't like the skin right now, I don't know what it is, I just really don't like it. And if this is the same one that you guys have always had, then I'm sure current members would like a change too. It's just a suggestion, but I'd think it'd be cool if a new skin was implemented. And to keep this one, so you could switch if you didn't like one of them. Remember, it's just a suggestion.

We've discussed this so many times that I can't even keep count. xD
The trouble with a new skin isn't in making one, or even buying one, the problem is the fact that it would be very very difficult to code one, as FFF has a lot of custom coding, and if we installed a new skin, it might mess it up.

Oh! I'm sorry for bringing it up, I didn't know >_>
But yeah, there could be a problem with the coding and stuff, I see what you mean. But, if you started a project on it, like to someone to code one area, and then someone else to code the other area, it'd lessen the work and make it possible?
That's a good idea, but like Stevie Nicks said, the coding is a problem, and it's not fair to those who code the site.
I'd add one, if I knew how. Because, it is a good idea.

That's Dobby to you, ya tick warmth! ~_~
It's not as difficult as it may seem. All you'd need to do is create replacement images for the current ones and replace those files. I'll do eet if anyone thinks they want me to... 
I'm just repeating what we've been told countless times by LG, and as far as I'm aware, he's the only one who codes the site, so we kinda have to take his word.
As Stevie Knicks has explained, our site owner LG has told us with all the custom mods, hacks, etc...we have on this forum it would be very difficult to code a new skin on the forum. We have a lot of custom stuff on here, according to him it'd be a pain to code a new skin around all those.
Blame Darkblade, he messed up the coding, hence it's difficult to do anything 
You'd also face the problem that we'd most likely need an experienced technician who had time to code it, and even then LG is weary and would want proof, hence you'd have to buy own server etc to make sure the skin works...and even then, as far as I'm aware the only person who'd be able to make a skin is Warbs. To get a new skin you'd be looking at more of pain getting it to happen than the reward of having one =/
