I don't understand at all how people would have an easier time with this theme than the black/white one. The latter has higher contrast. I think it was much easier to read, and just plain looked a lot better. This is just way too colorful. It doesn't promote creepiness or "thrills" or any kind of somber, whichever it is you read creepypastas for. I don't think the site needs to "mix things up" in terms of the color scheme. A couple events like the contests are great, but the scheme is an icon of the site and something that should be immediately recognizable and in place for a very long-term period. Changing the scheme isn't "fun." It's just bad business sense.

I also don't know how much attention Fatal's suggestion has gotten, but I think adding a background image of any kind would also hurt the atmosphere greatly and make things look worse. Bottom line, the old scheme suited this site perfectly. Let's not change things for the sake of changing them rather than actually making improvements. Let's not be Microsoft.
