I know it's a work in progress and a backup to the other, orange site but time is ticking by. Matching the gray look look, "A language learners' forum" name is not very catchy, to put it mildly, and the very name took some time to wrap my head around. Language Learning Forum is boring but more straightforward. Acronym: LLF? LanguageWeb? Language Garden? Open a competition for a new name and a new, recognizable color.
Thank you for your suggestions!
At this point, we're unlikely to change the color for the main site for the time being. We just changed the theme recently, after looking at most of the available phpBB 3.1 themes and receiving comments from forum members on the various options. And because theme changes are always disruptive, we're not eager to do it again soon.
However, the existing name and background header graphic were both chosen as placeholders. We had a long thread about possible forum names, and several of the most popular options had "Language Learners" somewhere in the name. We can reopen that discussion any time people want, as long as we keep "Language Learners" in the name. There's another thread somewhere with a discussion of the header graphic—we need something with the same size and approximately the same colors, but we can definitely talk about changing the header graphic.
