I found the site via ForumPromotion. The owner or someone else was offering paid writing or paid forum posting, but I was not a big fan (and still not a big fan of) IPB. I just don't like the UI of IPB. But I decided to come despite my apprehensiveness.
I like the work the guys are doing on the mainpage, but the forums just turn me off just because of IPB. I like the design, but I just can't stand the clunkyness of IPB. I'll just struggle and chug along with my time here.
