That's more or less what I meant. I understand that there's no functional utility on a theme but there's also no reason not to do it if doing it would be easy. It just wouldn't be in this case. The reason the VGFacts theme works so well is that it's an embedded part of the site. A lot of time and effort went into making that work correctly and it's possible because the forum only needs to serve one location. The VG Resource forum needs to serve four and, as a result, we can't achieve the same level of integration in terms of header and footer without specifically picking one of them. The system here is, at the same time, more complex due to the SSO system so trying to port one theme to the other would wind up being very difficult and far outweighs the potential gain of having a new theme over here, especially when that theme was custom made for another site (which, as you pointed out, is a separate community).
