I'm not really a fan of freeware buttons, but I understand some people aren't good in adobe, or can't get anyone who is to decent to make them a free set. Anyway Besides that...dark forums...eh, they're kind of a gamble. I always feel so...lethargic at a dark forum, unless there are plenty of colorful addons (like how FFR has their buttons and their little banner ads to their other forums...those add color), but yours is kinda ALL black and dark. Another hazard of the freeware buttons. You're on the right track though, if you like dark forums (the little job images iny our postbit are a start =D). I notice you have Vivi's Itemshop Hack. I do like how you did your announcements though, nice.
Your postbit is pretty good, you're going for that super RPG feel. The only thing I would suggest is removing [Posts Per Day XXXXX] whatever. It just looks crammed in there, and unless that information has some huge relevance, it's available in the member's profile, where it DOESN'T look crammed.
It may not be that big of a concern now, but if your forum gets a lot of activity maybe in the future (I do recall you saying you have host problems, and are losing all your members constantly), that hack adds a TON of queries to a showthread.
Sorry if I seem harsh, but I know when I want a critique I want everything possible to make it better.
