Hullo ilikethisgame5

who makes the theme for the guild anyway?

A combination of people make the themes - the majority of the manufacturers not actually having anything to do with the forum whatsoever.

In case you didn't know, the forum is based upon software known as vBulletin (v3.5.4). The software can be "modified" to add certain components and plug-ins to it. The Links and Downloads Manager (LDM) is a good example of such an add-on. Communities of add-on coders/designers exist outside of the forum itself and make the majority of such additional components.

Themes, although not quite as major add-on as the LDM, are another type of add-on to the forum's software.

From what I can gather, only the skins known as R:TW, Sengoku and The Guild are made by resident artists (I believe that barocca/Tamur can be credited with much of their design). The Sword Dojo skin is based upon one made by an external party (the makers of the forum software themselves) with many small modifications to add that S:TW feel.

The skin which is currently activated (Xmas) is one of those made by an external party.
