Well I dunno really, I'll throw you a few comments here.

I like the design and colors used of the layout. I also like the News text with the flashing "!", that's a nice touch. I don't see anything off the charts that I haven't seen on other sites, but it's a decent design.

As for critique further, I don't like the huge folder icons, I think they're gaudy. Entering threads or forums seems to load slowly for some reason. I like the activity, longevity, meters, those are nice. I think the posts "amount" is too small of font, I can barely read it.

I think you're allowing too big of avatars and animated one's everywhere will slow down people with weaker connections or slower pc's, but this is a minor issue.

The worst thing you have going though is the signatures. Using a scroll bar really slows things down on moving up/down the page. I'm one of probably many a type of people that likes to scroll up and down with the mouse roll function and not the scroll bars on the sides of the page. Therefore it slows down as it goes down through everyone's sig imagery. I can understand you wanting to keep uniformity perhaps in post box size, but it's annoying.
