Nah. Forums that make it so you have to login to view them almost always fail. It's a horrible idea. It blocks search engines, deters guests and annoys not logged-in members. It's one of the worst modifications out there and I have no idea why anyone would ever install it.
Making your forums private is equally retarded. All your doing is shooting yourself in the foot by blocking content to guests and search engines. Forums should only be made private if they have content only members should have access to (e.g downloads). The Top 5 Stats has already been addressed. The red border on the skin is overpowering. Make it a bit less.. bright red. The shoutbox should be hidden too. What's the point of guests seeing "loading?". Just increasing page rendering time and costing you more bandwidth.
