Is there a theme that looks like a regular forum?

edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

The pre-installed themes all seem to be trying to change what people expect when they land on a forum home page. Have these sites built these entirely themselves? Isn't there a forum theme? :-)

I want my forum to look like that (traditional):

    Your best bet would be to use 2.1. You could also change the CSS easily. I was going to put in an option to get rid of the side panel, but decided to leave it in for now until 2.1 is released. This is a trival change on your part if you do wish to do this. The HTML is pretty much on par with the links you provided...CSS can be used to suite your own personal needs.
