I like the forum skin, as it looks very professional. The footer image is a nice touch. The logo is good. The players at the top make it instantly clear what your site is about. I would rework the header just a little to make the logo come out a little better. Currently it blends into the background.

The navigation links, I needed to look around to find them, instead of intuitively clicking on them. The first things I do when arriving on a new site is navigate around to see where everything is.

You have 4 bars with navigation links:

1. In your header image.
2. In your navbar
3. The bar underneath your navbar.
4. In your footer bar.

Some links appear in several placess. I would certainly remove 1 or 2 bars.

At the top of the forum index there is a blue bar with 3 links in them. Im not sure what this is for. I'd either replace it with a titled ticker or remove it.

I know its not finished, but a small note about the slider: The slider doesn't work well for me on FF4. It loads slow and the widget almost fills the whole page.
