This is a classic forum inspired theme based off of Lavender that utilizes a more traditional approach to displaying forums without graphics or the pinterest- or metro-style blocks. For those who want a more classic feel to their forums.
Note: Work in progress.

Tron theme for NodeBB. Comes with a CSS/JQuery push-right menu and slide-down category descriptions. More to come as time goes on.
Note: Work in progress.

##Installation
npm install nodebb-theme-tron

This is a Lavender-based theme that uses a CSS flip method to hide category information on the front page, allowing for a more photo-centric design. For those who want to display photos that take up as much real-estate as possible on the front page without having to sacrifice displaying category info.
Note: Work in progress.

We definitely need a better way to organize all of the plugins and themes in the ACP. Currently and as the list grows the scrolling gets a bit unruly and long at times, and could definitely use some categorization or organization so that it can dually satisfy my OCD and be nice and neat.
My recommendation is to organize them as follows (in no particular order):
Having them organized this way, either in the ACP or on the NodeBB site itself, or both, would be hugely beneficial to those sifting through the themes to find what they need. A dropdown with them listed underneath would also suit the list much better in my opinion.
What do you guys think?
I wish to have the ability to transfer files through the chat. /feature request
Maybe you could denote official plugins as ~official~ in some way, like a little tag in the ACP or something, to indicate this.
Just an idea, not sure if I even like it or not.
Ok here's my list:
Will think of more and will add to this list as time goes on.
Will be working on a theme set for you guys in the very near future. Keep up the great work!
I am no fan of threaded discussions as it messes up conversations and almost requires infinite levels in order to make it work properly. I'm in favor of flat threads when it comes to forums.
This is what I have so far, let me know what you think and about anything that I should change.
Could be updating this soon. Anyone have any thoughts on where to go from here/what to fix first?
Could be updating this theme over this weekend. Anyone have any recommendations or criticisms that I could work off of?
Update might be coming soon. Any suggestions before I get to work?
I'd also assume for tax purposes only. I'd do the same if I were in their shoes right about now.
But anyways, I'm coming back to work on my beloved themes and create some more. I'm in the mood to update some dusty repos so I'm going to be making all (read: only three) of my themes compatible with the most recent release (whatever that may be). Tron, Flip and Classic will be updated soonish(tm).
The more collaboration I have the faster/better/moar'mazing these themes will be so if anyone is down to grab a beer and talk on TeamSpeak or Skype (does NBB have a group video chat plugin yet?) sometime tomorrow (Saturday) and work on these themes with me I'd be more than happy to share in the work.
On another note entirely, I'm working on my own project that I'd like to gauge if there would be any interest in participating. It's a Laravel-based responsive/cross-platform app that has to do with real estate and we're currently looking for experienced programmers and database architects to join us in our little venture. Experience should consist heavily of PHP as well as JS; the commitment for the project is 4-5 hours per week and will last, as long as you're interested in staying on the project, for at least six months. Send me a message over NBB and we can Skype to talk about it more. Reparations will be discussed only via Skype and after I've seen your resume/portfolio.
But I digress, the other reason I came back is because I'm starting up a website for a gaming community here in Toronto and plan on using NodeBB as the main software. If anyone plays Magic: The Gathering, you might also be interested in this concept as well, as there's possibilities to expand to other cities down the road (we're focusing more on Canada at the moment).
So for this new website I'm thinking of even writing a pseudo-blog while I experience the process of installation, configuration, and customization in its entirety in one go over the course of two days just for kicks. I think it would be interesting, seeing as how every single one of my NBB installations have had their own quirks and surprises. Might also be beneficial to have an alternate installation guide other than the official docs as well. Hey, maybe it could turn into a series of blog posts over time as new versions come out and I have to upgrade or post about other such things.
Anyways, it's good to see (some) of you again. Don't know the rest of you. Hai. o/

Forgive me, but when I visit the community forum after a week's gap, I am normally greeting by a plethora of posts which I do not see happening during last 2- 3 weeks. Could it be that contest is over now ? Or due to holidays ? Hope our friends will have time to get back here soon.
I think it's more due to the fact that holiday season is upon us. The new year will bring many new posts 
I am working on a very specific project at the moment and am curious as to whether it would be possible to just manage users and permissions via a MySQL database, and nothing else. Chime in if this is a possibility and what road I would take to achieve this.
@a_5mith what about having Wordpress be the oAuth client and not the provider?
@a_5mith did you ever have a look at this?
The <!-- BEGIN categories --> conditional is unable to work in /partial/menu.tpl when called upon, therefore it is impossible to put categories in the menu. Is this working as intended or is there a method to put categories in this place?
