free templates vs. pay templates

[vice86]

I gotta say....I'm now realizing free skins are free for a reason...they're not that great IMO. I've been searching all the sites for days now trying to find a free template for my forum...but with no luck. While I appreciate the time the template builders put into make a template...they all just have that "amateur" look to them....I'm gonna have to purchase a professionaly done template cuz they're the only ones that look good....I'm loving most of the style on this site...great work!

I agree 100% with that :).. I have the element and love it :D

I also agree, great looking, unique skins are difficult to come by (especially if they're free!) and creating your own can become tedious. I'd sooner fork out the small fee for a professional skin (<3 element) and save the trouble! ^_^
