Right off the bat - the forums/home/ page is too image heavy. One image is 833.21 KB, another is 2416.13 KB. So just between those 2 images, your home page is over 3megs.

And then add another 631.66 KB to that 3 megs. Your talking about a home page that is close to 4megs That is WAY too big. The average home page should be no more then 100K. And your pushing around 300 times that.

Chances are your going to have a high bounce rate, just because of the images and load time. And then, if you get very much traffic, your server is going to have to process 3 megs every time someone lands on your home page. Before long, your server is going to fall to its knees and beg for mercy.
