The default skin is the face of the forum. It's the first taste of the community to new users and can make a pretty profound impact. Even if you choose not to use whatever the default ends up being, it becomes a pretty important part of the forum's identity.
This is the SMF theme site. (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/) Everybody should have a peek through and offer up some input as to what they would like to be our default skin. We're taking suggestions for secondary skins as well, but the most important thing right now is that we pick a default that most people are comfortable with.
Most things about a skin can be changed, such as navigation and reply buttons, the banner, and many other things. We'll most certainly make whatever we choose our own, but the first step is to choose something to work with. We can't really get started on a banner or ranks or much else until we get this out of the way. Our version of SMF is version 2.0, so make sure the skins you suggest are compatible.
Gogogo.

I'll pay off JMV to let us use Boyah's default skin. theydonothing;

Psh, I was at Boyah when it was called Powerspike. theydonothing;
In any case, this (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=47) should clearly be our default skin.

Actually, I really wanted something along these lines.
Boyah's skin is /fa/ as fuck.

Not outright compatible with our version of SMF, but if people like it enough I could try to make it work. Same goes for any other skin you guys like, but it's more work. y;

Of the ones I've gone through I find this to be the most pleasing for sure.

I rather like this one.

Too dark for me personally, I like Kuu's unless something else pops up.

I like this one. I don't like having bright skins, they bother my eyes. :<
-
Maybe we should have one dark one and one light one and work on them both simultaneously.
Just an idea.

I like this idea. If we have two, I'll definitely never use the lighter skin.

Definitely, I've never been a fan of dark.

I like it except for the color.

I like this with a few tweaks here and there.

I like this but I think it might be too dark.

I tend to dislike dark skins as well but that one is pretty sleek.
-
I do kind of like http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1311 as well.

I'd like to get started on this soon. I'll probably use the skin Kuu posted as the light one, but that won't be for a while because I have to make it work with this version of SMF. So there's still time to find a lighter skin if you don't like that one. Maybe you guys will like the one Solar just posted or something.

As far as dark skins are concerned, which of these do you prefer? I won't make anything default yet, but I'd like to get a skin added and begin work on it fairly soon.

I like SKM night better.
