I would start by getting rid of the whole splash page / home and having it go straight to your forum. All of the content like the gallery can easily be integrated into your forum. In addition the flash splash page is terrible for seo. All of the banners half way down need to be resized with photoshop instead of resized via the code. I would also place them either at the very bottom or top depending on the importance, where the are now breaks the forum in half.

Overall the theme is a little bland and could use a few more colors or just more of the orange you started using. Also the width of the forum is around 770px, forums/sites today are optimized for 1024x768 and generally have a width of around 950px wide.
