Could we have it set up like The Resource where you choose what theme you want?

That wouldn't really work here. The forum shares the same overall template with the site and it would be very difficult to skin the forum separately from the site as a whole.

While I like that you guys chose Pokémon over Advanced Warfare or The Master Chief Collection. I'd love to see this in colour as opposed to monochrome. I don't think it's that distracting.

Also, how do you guys choose what backgrounds to have each month?

We generally go with the biggest new release of the month (that we care about). Smash Bros for Wii U is obviously a big name this month but since we did Smash Bros last month, we had to go with something else. We agreed that the new Pokemon games outweighed both Call of Duty and Halo (which are basically the same game now - a sad day since I miss non-Call of Duty-style Halo).
