But seriously, the Committee have FAR better things to do. The theme is very nice, new themes mean extra work, and a whole new layout would introduce broken things on a site that works basically perfectly (every so often, threads don't update with new pages straight away). Function over Form and Frills, PLEASE.
TBH, it's pretty rude to expect them to update a theme that isn't very dated.
I suppose a new banner wouldn't be too unreasonable, but yeah. I like this site, it's nice as it is.
From a current web-design stand point, it's basically in line with popular site designs, IMO.
So, in summary: No.

dude we r here to do the work of modification so u don;t have to do anything anyways it's ur decissision
Have you actually seen a site go through a redesign. It's always a pain, a lot of work, and stuff is always broken. And people are always annoyed at the changes. Harmony Central is a big example, though I think unless you're a muso you wouldn't understand what I mean. Basically, they changed to a new theme and site software and it pretty much resulted in huge numbers of people leaving.
Stuff always gets broken, and slips past testing. If it doesn't, the testing period has to be so long that the site would look dated by the time it was released.
People will still have to implement the new design, modify the layout/style sheets or whatever (I've only very basic understanding of the coding aspect). And those people will be the people who are busy enough trying to handle the community to take on a currently completely unnecessary task of re-designing a website. I'm not sure who generally does that, but IIRC, it's Brad, and I'm quite sure he doesn't have the time.
Making the images is all well and good, implementing them all nicely is another thing.
