Re: Idea: forum migration?

Well, whitespace is ultimately also supposed to aid in what belongs together: elements that belong to each other will be grouped together while keeping sufficient space between the next group of things. I get what you're saying about the excess of whitespace, but it's the lack of whitespace that would really make it unclear where one things ends and the next thing begins.
That said, going too far in either direction WILL cause usability issues. I was mainly talking about the desktop version here, but I also find the mobile version to look significantly more cluttered and it could use some more contrast. Contrast between elements also separates them better and right now this contrast really isn't high enough.
All that said, I just picked a theme that looked like it really matched Spherical itself well. From here I can keep looking for themes, or I can modify the one that's there. I think I'll do the latter, make it a little darker, give things more contrast, try to play around with what works and not.
