Hey all,
I'm not quite sure if the current administration's plan is to use Flarum as our indefinite forums. I'd like to take it for face value that they are and thus, want to suggest two themes used in con junction with one another to bring some much needed familiarity and life back into the TF forums. The way the current layout is designed, TF just feels empty and dead. Thread replies feel under-satisfying, there's no shout box or instant messaging. User engagement clearly feels under-prioritized, and with no active post and like count displayed under the users profile in-post interactions aren't encouraged. I've had extensive experience with Flarum and the good news is that with a little bit of love, these forums can truly be a new, refreshing chapter in TF's history.
All said and done, I'd like to propose to the Executive Leadership to add the following Flarum Extensions in conjunction with one another to resuscitate the user experience on these forums:

I've checked and hand-selected all these themes to be Flarum 0.1.0 compatible.
