This poll is about the importance of themes and if they are the key to a successful forum or online community.
Recently, we voted on which layout would be the new default layout for the club. "Dark Lava" is the layout with the most votes. I'm assuming because it's more aesthetically pleasing than The Powerpuff Girls one. This lead me to think about if layouts are a predominant factor in the success of a forum.
I would say no, because what I believe makes a successful forum is the content of that forum. If there are no engaging topics or discussions, then it really doesn't matter how cool the forum looks. Also, the members and the staff pretty much set the tone of the entire forum. If you have a really visually appealing forum, it won't matter how great it looks if the members of it don't post.
What does everyone think?

So, you don't think the content is important to a forum's success?

I guess its sorta important. What's more important is how a forum looks. For example a roleplaying forum is more focused on how the whole forum looks and the content is the next important thing. The layout brings in the people more than the content

I would tend to disagree. I think that the content in a role playing forum is what makes it successful. I was a member of a role playing forum, and the number one thing was the content. Making up the stories, so that the place would be relatively active each day. The only reason why the layout was important was because of the setting that was created. The role playing forum that I was apart of was based off a boarding school.
