    Having both is the best option.

    I always have both as an option. I probably use light more but sometimes I am in the mood for a dark theme so I head down to my skin selector at the bottom. :P

    lol, I for some reason always try to stick with the default theme set on any board because to me it feels weird for some reason to use another theme if its not the default one.

    People are used to reading black text on a white background so that is what should be used.

    I always like to put both so that people can pick and choose.

    It all depends on the type of website you want to build. I believe a more professional look would be on the lighter side than dark.

    Agreed, but there are some really nice dark themes.

    Not a fan and never will be a fan of dark themes, I tend to avoid joining forums with dark themes if at all possible,

    Well I will join a forum if it has a dark theme, but depends on how dark it is that will make me be active or not.
