Ehren Posted March 11, 2026 at 11:01 PM Posted March 11, 2026 at 11:01 PM Two decades ago today, a much younger version of myself started this site as a hobby. Today marks its 20 year anniversary, a huge milestone that I never could have imagined back then. During this time, I’ve had the chance to design custom themes for hundreds of communities, interact with an incredible group of customers and watch so many forums grow and thrive. Running this site has never just been about themes, but also seeing the communities which you run, hearing your feedback, and constantly trying to improve my work over time. To everyone who has purchased a theme, recommended a theme to others, left feedback, reported a bug or suggested an idea, thank you. Your support over the past 20 years is the reason this site still exists today. The web has changed a lot during this time (iPhones didn't even exist back then, so mobile layouts weren't even a thing), but one thing hasn’t changed: communities still matter. And I’m grateful that my themes have been able to play a small role in helping people customize them. So here’s to the past 20 years and hopefully many more to come! Thank you all for being part of the journey - and keep an eye out for more v5 themes (as well as this community finally being upgraded to v5) in the near future! 11 3

Strikerecondo Posted March 24, 2026 at 06:35 PM Posted March 24, 2026 at 06:35 PM Thank you so much Ehren for your commitment. Your work means a lot for me, as you created the best themes ever, and they accompanied my community for years now ! 1
ThomasP Posted April 11, 2026 at 08:18 PM Posted April 11, 2026 at 08:18 PM Well deserved and I'd say: Quality asserts itself. Just checked and am here since Jan 2016 :) 1 1
Jetrox Posted April 29, 2026 at 02:01 PM Posted April 29, 2026 at 02:01 PM I'm new here and I'm going to buy a theme too. I just hope I won't be disappointed. The only problem is that I left a ticket. It's very difficult to answer. If you could answer faster, that would be perfect.

Not sure if you remember me. It was for the Dragonball sites. I was extremely OCD and I remember we had very long sessions for the custom forums you made for me. I believe we did 3 custom skins. I am sure you got annoyed with me during that time
Ehren Posted October 8, 2026 at 09:52 AM Author Posted October 8, 2026 at 09:52 AM Yep, I remember! Those themes are still engrained in my memory. Lots of 1 pixel adjustments during those feedback sessions
nodle Posted October 12, 2026 at 12:23 AM Posted October 12, 2026 at 12:23 AM Man I am late to this party, but congrats, I think I have been around since you started. You still the best themes after all these years for both IPS & XenForo. Congrats Sir! 1
Ehren Posted October 12, 2026 at 08:35 AM Author Posted October 12, 2026 at 08:35 AM Thanks mate, you’re definitely one of the long term customers! I appreciate the support over the years
