I'm far from a pro but I will give you my thoughts.
Wow, this sparkles compared to what I was seeing while helping you yesterday. Good job getting it sorted!
First thing I would do is remove the version number from the footer - it's not license required and it just makes it easy for the script kiddies and the autospam programs to identify. (Phrase edit.) They'll find it out anyway, I know but there's no point advertising it on every page.
You need a favicon.ico too, to replace the stock vBulletin one, for slightly better branding.
The overall impression is nice - it is a dark style but I'm a personal fan of those. It's not at all garish or lurid, overall nice effect.
Postbit looks nice and well organized, I am a fan of the legacy postbit too. Some nice customizations there. You might install the "signature only in first post" mod, to clean up postbit even more.
I don't dig KeyCaptcha or any other of the puzzles, questions or any other such on registration - autospam programs such as XRumer have pretty much defeated these anyway, and they do nothing to inhibit the human spammer, and merely annoy the legitimate user..
Overall it's quite nicely done!
