WHEN WILL SNORKEL OPTIMIZE BOYAH FOR THOSE OF US WITH excessive screen estate
I'm guessing that'll be a 3.0 feature
WHEREI S SNORKEL.

Browser only takes up Half THe Screen >

To me, it seems easier to read posts in a smaller box than one that fills my screen. I think I've even seen some article mention that it's proven that, beyond a certain width of the element in which text wraps (relative to font size), readability decreases.
we probably could use a slightly larger text size anyways, but beyond that I don't feel like we're wasting horizontal space because on most pages (like post view) we have a lot of fixed-height elements and don't have much wrapped text so the difference in vertical size because of limited horizontal size is very little; the space would still be wasted, except in colored boxes instead of the background.
on the page this post is visible on, for example, the only thing that would be less tall because of increased width would be Chrome user agents like

25.0.1364.172
and our banners were made to the current theme width
If boyah 2 ever HAPPENS EVER EVER
We should just redesign A WHOLE NEW SET OF BANNERS that could be use independently of screen width.
i like the Black Mass Banner
i like your mom's cooking
I think to make use of that width we could make the actual content width just a little bigger (like 700px or something) and then have a vertical banner along with vertical navigation on the left of the posts, so basically everything normally on the top ( "Hey, [you], you have x messages, etc" / "forum/profile/messages/etc" / "Boyah Forums | General | The Lobby" ) all of that could be on the left, and/or perhaps links to every board for quick navigation
also bumping the text size up just one point would be alright
this should be a special theme for those that want it

we aren't theme designers who ever change more than basic CSS and a few of the image resources, so it's a matter of finding and installing a completely different theme
well i wasn't saying you or thyme should do it, i'm talking about either an actual boyah theme or perhaps some kind of script that could do this, similar to the oneechan theme for 4chan
