My opinions:

Shrink that giant header. As Oblivion Knight points out, it's way too big. I'm looking at it in 1600x1200 (as I imagine you are to, from the size of it) and I don't even want to try to see what people running 1024x768 - still the #1 most common resolution, even for gamers - are going to see. It'll take up the entire page!

And, on a personal note, there is nothing, but nothing, that makes me say "I will never in a million years register here, or come back for that matter" faster than one of those extremely annoying popup boxs that sticks on the page and bugs you to sign up. I know WiredGamers did it, and it didn't work for them either. With all due respect to the work of it's author, that hack has to be the most annoying one on this forum. It will drive away more people than you get to sign up, and even people who sign up are really doing it just to make it go away, not necessarily because they are going to contribute to your community. Please, re-think that.

It's a nice looking site in many ways, so don't take this as all bad. Take care of the above issues and look into adding perhaps a bit more color here and there and it will look really nice. I can tell you put a lot of work into it, so take the extra step!
