Sorry, but no website will force me use a default color scheme that hurts my eyes just so they can have "corporate identity".

Right now I´m back to Firefox and have set it to OVERRIDE both their default color scheme as well as their microscopic font size.
And there is absolutely nothing they could do against it, so any "branding" they want to do can only be a "suggestion" anyway, which the user may or may not accept.

So while they can push their "corporate identity" on the newbies, the seasoned users will either override it anyway, or go to another board which offers him greater customizability.
