I am not a huge fan of the skin, it is quite dark. The background is a bit too busy for my tastes and I find my eyes struggling to keep focused on the text. My first suggestion would be to drop the background to a more neutral color that will cause the forum to stand out more.
The logo should be worked on a bit more. You want it to stand out in a persons mind. I like the castle on the side. You may get a better effect by tying that to the logo words.
I like the types of forums you have, they keep the focus on your topics. However you may want to consider reducing the number, at least while you build the traffic. As more people visit your forum and the need for the other forums comes up then you can expand the number. As it is now it looks very empty, and that may have the effect of driving people away before you even get started.
