I will go ahead and address this here.
I want to be compliant and didn’t think it was out of compliance to ask a question about finding a theme.
We have a similar rule on the subreddit, which boils down to “no find my theme for me questions”. Essentially you are asking an open ended question which has no end goal in sight. Everybody has opinions on what thing is better than other things, so such a conversation lasts forever and really helps nobody.
It’s also an open invitation for authors to hawk their wares, and basically advertise their themes. It’s not a productive conversation for “support forums”.
If you want to find a theme that you like, then my advice is to setup a test site and install a bunch of free themes on it, and try them out. Look at the results, test the layout, examine the code, etc. Asking other what theme they use is going to get you a lot of responses, few of which will actually help you.
Also, these are support forums, not a blog. Generally speaking, we prefer people to ask specific questions, which will have specific answers. Questions that rely on opinion based answers just end up spiraling out of control.
