I like the design as well, and agree with the thing of it being maybe too blue... nothing wrong with the style in general, or much of your use of blue... I just can't explain it, seems like the part with the topics is a slightly 'in your face' style colour.

I will say though to change some of the category icons, as why the non defaults seem good, the default and poll icons are not transparent, leaving slightly ugly white edges. Really successful forum though, so great job at managing it!
