Hey man, don't worry too much about getting your thread locked in the suggestions area. I know it happened to me quite a few times and it's made me a bit peeved too. I especially don't like how an Admin responded to you saying that you had an ego and you were throwing a hissy fit. Totally not cool. Then again, saying they had an ego wasn't cool either (sorry!)
Anyways, wanted to agree with you with the theme thing. I've been here 9 years but I just stick to Pokelink because it does get confusing even to me.
You should totally PM Lightning about the suggestions- she is a very good and fair admin and I think you will get more out of it than worrying about what happened to the thread.
Hope all your views do actually get taken into consideration fairly.
