Have you ever bought forum templates?

[Gustav]

Hey Guys,

I am all familiar with forum softwares such as Xenforo, vbulletin, Mybb, phpbb or woltlab and I want to have a great forum like forum webmastersun.com

I have focused my attention to WordPress over the years and I knew about bbPress and I tried it but not really like its features. I like the idea of designing, coding forum templates but i'm not an expert in design forum templates, i have researched some theme marketplace and found some forum templates I liked, but wondering I should choose one and it makes any sense while the template on the market was used by more people

My question is, have you ever bought forum templates or design your own template?

Any feedback or your experience is welcome.

Thanks

I have never purchased a template that is available to the masses. I have had a custom template created for a forum before.

If you are interested in starting out, I would first suggest using a free design and just making some simple changes first, colors, custom logo etc. Then once things get rolling think about either getting a paid template, or looking for a designer to do a custom job.
