Maybe use a hack to make the icons different for each section. It needs livening up.

I was literally about to type the same thing! scary
anyway, yes.. this does not look like a gaming forum looks like one of those off topic discussion forums... that top black header needs to be filled in .. a nice flash banner/code will do perfectly up there.. and maye an interactive navigation. with so many game sites out there already, you really need to stand out... I always google my competition, see what their strong points are, then I make it better on my end.. I can imagine if you do that, you'll notice a drastic change in the entire direction of your forums

by the way, vbadvanced in limitless, and I believe a must have for all boards I use it for magazine covers/pages... features, profiles, etc..
use your imagination... I use to feel the same way until actually did my homework...

then the dog ate it.
