Default vB style for phpbb?

I've seen about 1-2 years ago some phpbb2 templates which maked the forum look like a vB one. Actually they were identical that i myself most times confused them!
Has anyone heard if there are such templates/themes developed for phpbb3 too? I'd love to use them!

There are some templates for phpbb2 which make it look like vB. I have not heard that for phpbb3. I hate those kind of templates which "just" copy others. vB is way better.

Yes, vB is better but if you don't have money and want to start a forum, than one can use the templates to make it look better like vB.

Just being original is one of the aspects that your "prospect" members would love to have. I have seen many phpbb forums more successful that the vB ones. vB copy template makes other forum softwares look like it, which doesn't look good to me in any way.[ Personal Opinion ]

All does not think equally. Everybody has its own likes and dislikes. So, its not good looking to you.

It is not something good or bad looking. It's just that, copying other's imagination is not a right thing to do in my view.
