Also regarding the header image, I think it would look ultra slick if a gradient was applied to the edges to blend to your background on either side.

I logged in and saw the flashing forum icons... I'd be that could be done with css and no-image whatsoever and save a request or two.

In fact, looking at other icons that could be replaced, I'd be you could get down to 35 requests on your home page for visitors.

And if I had any clue how to do any of this on a 12 year old vB2 style ported for 3.8.7, I might have at it!

As it sits, it's only 42 requests and 165kb.

Thanks for the look Jim!
