So can I. No argument here at all. But that's different argument from what the OP posted, which seemed to be fixated on style and color.
That was my point exactly. Unless you know what the purpose of CD is, suggesting changes looks like a solution in search of a problem.
Whether or not it's more appealing is strictly a matter of personal opinion. I don't find either one more appealing than the other. Anyway, on a technical forum like CD, "appealing" takes a back seat to functionality and content.
As for easier on the eyes, I'm not sure what that means. I can't speak for others, but my aging eyes get along just fine with CD's modest color scheme.
Bottom line: I'm opposed to change for change's sake. Folks proposing changes to CD should be prepared to explain (as you explained in your post) how those changes will benefit the CD community.

I am not at all opposed to adding more features, if they can be justified. But I don't see the purpose in completely updating the website. Going back to John's robot analogy: you
added a shooter to your robot, because you thought the shooter would improve it. But you didn't rebuild the robot from scratch just because you thought that cycling robots were better.
