I don't remember saying styles would lead to bandwidth problems. Multiple styles can lead to duplicate maintance when there is a change made to the forums.

This forum did have two color sets that were done with styles. This was dropped back to one. While styles are 'fun', they don't really make the questions or answers any more accurate, nor do they really impact how the forums are used.

I''ll have to see if Jupitermedia has put multiple styles on any other forums. If so, then it is more likely we can justify a second being done here.
