Best ever Joomla template!
:zzz  
 
What I look for is the ability to completly modify a template. I work with top-noth graphic artist to design an all new Photoshop PSD mockup. Then I cut it up into the correct pieces and place it into the Rocketheme template. I dont actually use the colors, sizes, or layout. However the general base code and setup of modules, styles, etc. is the best in the Industry. NO OTHER TEMPLATE design firm has this quality of code and file structure. This code is sexy and mature.  
 
Thanks!!!

Excellent
Great job on a full-community package. Too bad it uses Fireboard instead of SMF or phpBB3, otherwise I'd give it a perfect score.

Nothing wrong with FB
...in fact it makes far more sense to support FB than anything else really. For a Joomla! native forum it's by far the best choice - and it your setting up a community site, you want all your extensions to play nicely - which is not for the faint-hearted if you're using bridged solutions... :)

Bang - slam - rockettheme jam
It is the source code that makes me love RT far over the others as well. The folks at RT really know how to put a deasent code together. Why can i say that? 
 
Because of the fact that i am NOT a webdesign coder - but can understand the code even if i dont know to much about coding - and even learn from it. 
 
Also - the price that is needed to be paid to become a member of this great club - is so fair that i cant really see anyone able to compete when you think of what you get in return. 
 
I DIGG RT - but i would not have voted if the template was bad...

Ditto to the above positive comments -- I'm not a programmer but with the RT code in the various pages and CSS files so clearly commented and neatly laid out, it's easy. Their documentation and video tutorials are equally outstanding.  
 
Thanks Rocketmen!
