Seems like a nice active forum which is always a good thing. I'll just point out some of the things that other reviewers may have missed (to lazy to read what they typed).

Firstly, For the size of the forum and activity of it I would have expected a more visually pleasing logo. Let's be honest, it's not the greatest looking logo and far from even being mediocre. Your logo should stand out as it's the signature image that users will clap their eyes on and in it's current state it's an eyesore.

Granted the style looks nice (not a dark style fan) but the quality seems to be there so nice work on that.

It seems every forum I review the navbits_start icon is left untouched and remains the default vbulletin stock icon. Change it for something custom and even more so because default vbulletin blue looks hideous against any kind of red.

Going into the forum display I noticed your using vbulletin stock threadmarkers. If you insist on using them you ought to grab the psd and save the matting to the dark colour it's being applied upon which would eliminate the white redundant white edging that's showing. Preferably, I would opt for something custom.

Same rule goes for the other icons (Im Icon etc) that are lingering on dark backgrounds. They all have white edging because they were saved out for light backgrounds not dark backgrounds.

These are just minor issues that if addressed will give the visual look a cleaner sharper more eye candy look.

And if you want smilies you ought to take a look in my signature, I cater for dark backgrounds.

Overall, Nice design you just need to get those rogue vbulletin stock icons removed for either something custom (good thing) or atleast grab the vbulletin GDK and save them to the background colours that they are being aplied onto.
