I love the dark color scheme.. The slider on the front page is quite cool 🙂 How are you enjoying the new version of XF and what do you believe are some of the changes between 1 and 2?

It’s much more responsive and mobile friendly, easier to connect payments/ads/social media, and easier to layout the forum via widgets.

Made a few changes (still using XF2 though).

Ideas or suggestions?

Honestly, I like the logo etc. but it looks so much like other forums - mainly cause the theme is one of the few free XF 2 ones. Anyway, the material is good, though.

xenForo 2 is a good software. Stick with it. It was a complete rewrite of xf1 to remove bottlenecks that were present in the first line.

Good point. Unfortunately I can't see myself paying for a theme as of right now.

You really don't need more than what you have. That theme is fine, it's just that you need to add your "flavor" to the skin. Here's two examples of an old skin being modified:

Made a little change to the sidebar. Essentially trying to promote blogs and podcasts from other sites
