Well, there is also something else to consider. Many forums add a pretty interface that makes their layout look like a colourful child's toy designed to prevent the child's attention from wondering off to the next toy. IMHO this type of design detracts somewhat from the forum, since the focus of an online community are the people and what they have to say rather then pretty colourful buttons, distracting color schemes etc...
That is not to say pretty layout does not have its place, but many people my self included, prefer somewhat bland layout that do not distract the eye from important things.
Ultimately, if someones wishes to conribute their skills towards making a more 'eye candy' design for FUDforum they are more then welcome to, there is a very good chance their work may even become the default template. However, the current 'bland' design will still have its place for people who prefer content over color.
