Design is a complicated matter and thankfully I'm mostly back-end 
developer.

But one thing that I see around here is a excess of borders in 
the layout which may sound dated and for me a visual pollution.

For example let's take this Forum (https://forum.dlang.org):

Starting with the names:

D Programming Language - New users
D Programming Language - Community
D Programming Language - Ecosystem
.
.
.

Why "D Programming Language" + Something?

I think it's pretty obvious when someone is here that they are 
accessing a D Programming Language Forum.

Like I said above I think this forums has an excess of borders 
and I'd prefer something like this: 
https://i.imgur.com/OQCPojN.png than what you have today, but 
this is a personal taste.

But I asked a friend who design pages for living and he agreed. 
In fact he said that we should get rid of "Threads, Posts" 
columns too, or may give a light background color according the 
Topic (New users, Community etc.).

By the way the Forum is my main grip today when using mobile.
