Yes, I agree that the forums should have some unique design, but just because of uniqueness of our community. I really like this default theme the forums have mainly because of its simplicity and quality. I'm thinking on something custom based on it already...

As for these seconds between posts, I went through all the forum settings and couldn't find anything related to this. I'll look into the forum database and see if there is something changeable.

Thanks for advice.

I think a new theme is to be put into place so that this forum looks more "Proffesional" I dont know but you should find something or have a theme custom made

P.S also you should change the max time between posting your next post to 30 seconds instead of 60
