As OP said it has its pros and cons. But here is my reason why I don't like it much.
1. When CCC is posted, I can just look at it absorb it and try to solve it. I don't have to browse or look on past post to figure out the theme If I am not regular or following all post in the Lounge,
2. Theme makes solving easy but framing the next one challenging. This I feel I should be vice versa.
3. Theme gives a unfair level playing field for few ( may be not), but If lets say its decided the theme is Harry Potter or Vegan then I will not be inspired to look into the CCC for that whole week. My apology to all Muggles.
Having said that, if majority prefers theme, I will go with it.
cheers,
Super

I agree, although I was partly responsible for them being introduced I didn't realise they would end up almost being compulsory.
The down side of them is, they preclude otherwise good cryptic solvers ( and there are lots on here ) from not only solving them but taking part at all if they don't know the theme ( I'm one of them ) so I've voted to abandon them.

this really deserves multiple up-votes, not only is it 5/7/5, it evokes self-referential resonances on more floors than your average motel

My aunt and uncle raised me and they had a huge German Shepherd and he knew what time the mail man delivered so he would wait by the door and as soon as the mail came through the slot he would grab it with his mouth pull it through and drop it then commence to snarl and bark. Scared the crap out of the mail man.
