lol, Shelley.. vB stock icons are to you, what default vBadvaned installs are to me..

OP, I rarely bring this up.. but you really do have a lot of forums for the amount of activity. You can reduce quite a bit of them.. for example: CSS / HTML can go hand in hand, really.

I mean, what you're doing is drawing someone in, they get excited (or whatever) and want to make a post.. but FIRST.. they need to read through ~40 different forum topics to make sure they are doing it in the right place. It's big, intimidating, and not many people will do it due to laziness. Hell, we rent movies through the mail now because we are too lazy to drive a few blocks away. We are.. lazy.

Keep it simple. Your style isn't bad. It's a little too gradient filled and glossy for my taste, but it doesn't look bad.
