Change is good/bad?

Change is good. Although some people may not like things after they are changed, they get used to the change and will even grow to like the changes after the adjustment period is over.
Other forums seem to be afraid to change anything out of fear of upsetting members. Ive learned over the years that someone will always be upset no matter what. If a change is necessary to benefit a forum in the long run, then it should be done regardless.
However there are changes that can negatively impact a community, the owner/staff should put a lot of thought into any change before making it happen.

I think at some occasions it does get boring and annoying but other times, it's a benefit.
Keeping things fresh is something very required, I notice that after a couple of days, I tend to change my theme with forums like this, to keep things fresh. It seems stupid, but to a degree it brings about success.
I think it depends what the changes are.
I like forums where there is a choice of themes for members to
choose from, so that if they want a change of 'scenery' so to speak,
they can change it themselves and everyone can choose a theme
that is suitable for their needs and preferences, without it impacting
negatively on others.
I do think that if an Admin is making changes to a forum, it at least
shows they are taking an interest in it's appearance.
