Im not sure I see what you are trying to call my attention to. I've been on many different forums and the vast majority are laid out like that, with similar topics on all. What about the second site you mention has you irked, particularly? Is it the color scheme? It makes sense that someone with a conspiracy-theory mind might like a dark background. Most of the forums I've been member of had at least one dark theme in the templates to choose from.
