Why does this site look so ancient

How come this site still looks like it did 10 years ago? I mean it's not terrible but seeing how active it still is im surprised it looks so archaic. As a new user it's pretty difficult to navigate... is it meant to be like that to deter people outside the community snooping? or maybe the fbi will see 10px font and won't bother?
I dont get it

Looks fine to me. What should it look like? IG maybe? Lol
It’s a forum, it looks like a forum. Also I remember when shroomery was small and didn’t even look like this, i recall a FAQ about “The Bemushroomed State”

Personally I love the old forum aesthetic.
I used to read a bunch of forums, and now I use reddit 99% of the time. It's nice to have something that reminds me of the old days.
In any case, it works, right? If it ain't broke, as they say...

Looks fine to me 
Sure some of the icons are bit dated but i think they're charming.
Also, what theme are u using OP? I find the yellow version to look the oldest (probably cause ita the very first theme ever made).

The theme i like is the sort of a stone-blue with tan accents. It's what Shroomeryland looks like to me

I like the forum on desktop.
On mobile it's a bit unusable.

And might I add, we are THE MOST CUSTOMIZED FORUM ON THE INTERNET, at least AFAIK.
We got Holy Shit functionalities.
We got functionalities to modify your preference for the functionalities.
I proposed to Ythan to perhaps contract a Chinese coding shop to morph the site into something a lot more 2020. It would not be too expensive, and we could set it up as a mirror site, so people can choose between the site from the Archean, and that from the Technozoic.
They could code the new site empty and a transfer tool and we could apply both and create an equilibrium.
I think at some point in the future the site will attain a Virtual Reality dimension, but we may be talking 2030 here and so far I'm the only admin dreaming that dream, at least out loud.

Free-to-play Desktop VR exists since 2003
It has even gone Open Source
there are highly promising USER HOSTED universes emerging
At some point we might buy a module and add a functionality where you can create a YOU how you wish to appear and join us by a synthetic campfire on the beach of a paradoisical tropical Shroomery Island, chatting by text or microphone, voice distorted to fit your character or for privacy if desired, and our Shroomery Island will have become a virtual reality. It could have education and recreation aspects too. There could be a museum dedicated to our best shroom pics, lectures and exhibits on how to ID shrooms, games, all sorts of fun.
Think of the fun and mayhem, you need not even be human!

Out-of-the-box virtual worlds to integrate into your website will become a thing and an affordable thing too as we move towards 5G, 6G (being worked on already!) and petabyte computing.

Think of the fun!
I'm in virtual worlds since 2007 and I tell you its the future.
The technology needs a little maturing and its good to go.
The forum could have a link, the link allows you to login a character you made and you log them in on the Shroomery planet. Coding this is not Ythan's speciality, but MODULES THAT DO THIS will become an article of commerce to pimp up your site with a VR addition.
Leave it to China and other cheap snazzy coding factories.
I have hosted virtual wolds on my pre-2016 computer. As you can tell by the date, it doesnt cost much CPU or drive space to do so. Its super lightweight. Bunch of pixels with the planes built by them filled up with textures (voxels work differently but you catch my drift)

I like the forum the way it is, I think everything looking like an app is annoying, even my fricken browser (firefox) is looking more like a app with each update

Since Disney has obtained tremendous value from the public domain, knows how important the public domain is, and is firmly determined to never contribute anything to it.
