New Forum Theme Contest

If theres one thing I love, its theming things. And depending on the forum software we choose, theming can be quite easy and quick to learn on some of them. However, when we get to the new forum, we'll have a new forum software, and no themes.

So I suggest, once a forum software is chosen, an official theme contest.  The forum software would be given, and each person would send in their skin CSS and graphics (Banner, buttons, etc), and every single entry would get included in the skin selector. However, the winner would get default skin  position.

This would lead to a potentially very wide selection of themes. Some people might make faction themes- Like a stewards theme, a Spellguard theme, or a society theme- some people might make setting themes, some people will make light ones, some people will make dark ones.

Further, this will secure the rights of the theme used to be fair or free use, so there would be no potential theme rights issues, which I know has been a thing that has rocked the theming community once or twice.
