How many themes?

[Allenafaith]

How many themes do you guys have on your site?

Do you think it is important to have a variety of themes just in case others don't like certain themes you have?

I have 5-6 themes on my forum, mainly because I've gotten some suggestions that I should add more themes since most all of mine are dark themes. People want light themes now, so I added a light theme. I want to keep my members happy. I've personally run off of a site because of themes that I didn't like (I am in love with light themes and I prefer dark themes.) and I wouldn't want to lose members for the same reason especially if they suggested a light theme.

I hate most dark themes. Very few actually look good. I'm not a fan of keeping a ton of themes; one or two quality themes is better than ten decent themes.

Yes if it were a forums. In order to let our members know we care for them, we will need to add themes that they suggested.

However, my site, http://bitrevenues.com (not a forums), only have one theme. Visitors to my site only stay on my page for less than a minute (that is how I designed the system to work). So there is no actual needs to create new themes. Having multiple themes will also increase the bandwidth and disk space.

Right now on my forum we have 3 themes which are available for members to select. One if a dark theme and the other two are light themes one is really light and the other is lightish. I feel it's always good to have a range of themes so that members can feel more comfortable having a theme of their choice.

Every single forum I have ever owned, I have only allowed one theme for selection. This is to keep things clean and updated. Not to mention, as an internet marketer, Brand is a very big deal for me. Working on my brand image and looks is one of my top priorities.

Having multiple themes or designs can cause inconsistencies. Not to mention, maintaining multiple themes can be a pain in the ass.

I use only one currently.

I just have one, I find it more of a hassle to deal with multiple themes.

I like having different themes to give people something to choose from.

I like having a light and a dark theme available at the very least. That way people can change it to the theme they like.

I prefer light themes over dark themes. It's just too hard to read content on dark theme websites.

I think it has to be the right balance.

Some forums are too dark and some (for example WF), can be too light.

I use one free theme for my site. I am thinking about a premium theme.

Just the one theme. It's a free theme. I used to change the theme every few months so members could experience a change on my forum.
