14 posts in 10 months means he is turned off by the oldtime look of the site to such an extent that posting here turns him off. As he represents a demographic, we all do, this is noteworthy.

Personally, and thats not to toot our own horn, I find the format of posting here much more user friendly than posting in a group in facebook.
1) sooo many features here to customize the posts, including cinematic smileys  2) we let you get away with sooo much that would get you banned from facebook outright (nsfw) 3) we have such an intelligent, supportive intelligent and engaging crew of people here

WE HAVE THEMES.
Check out Vintage Shroomery, been rocking that for over 15 years now.
To me the Shroomery is yellow, like the sun, like gold, the color of abundance and majesty.
Much love to who made Deluvian Blue because sapphire blue is a high vibration color, associated with authority and success, its the theme that made the Shroomery great.
Blue is a YANG color, (upsurging) red is a YIN color (diminishing).

Please wise master. How do I access such "themes"?

Which style sheet (skin) do you want to use for your display?
There are people who perpetually use the Halloween or Christmas skins because it puts them in a happy place.
Yellow does that for me.

I like the default blue the best, probably cause the first while I was here I didnt know you could change it, and I got used to it

Personally, I love the layout exactly because it is that traditional forum type. I would hate to see shroomery turn into looking more like some social media site, for example reddit, goddamn. Shroomery is unique and surprisingly easy to use. And there are different themes to suit personal tastes! I like the default one, but maybe I'll change to something now

Lol @ tripsurfer. I agree with that yellow and other colors being so bright they scorch my eyes which are used to the soothing dark-teal (?) theme.

I use the dark one. Slate or Plastic or something.
It's fucking awesome.

You know they discoreved some art from ancient civilizations in South America that could mean that Shroomery existed at that time as well?

Deluvian Blue (the default blue theme) makes me feel I'm in a dark cave in winter, Vintage Shroomery makes me feel I'm out in the sun in summer.
I have 30 watt LED overhead in my small computer room. I enjoy illumination.
Deluvian Blue looks like mushrooms are in season though, cold and wet
