PORTAL:
I hate portals. Yours especialy.
Almost all of it neds to go. The marquee text needs to go. the "Welcome to Wordforge!, bla bla bla"... That whole box needs to go.
And why do use

for your collapsable image when they do not lead to the Top of the page?
Speaking of which, I like your logo. But what I found rather interesting was the today's article: "
James Doohan, RIP."
LAUGH. OUT. LOUD.
It
SHOULD say wordforge.net RIP.
Knowing using a skin that a popular site uses, in my book, is a forum of rip. That said, it's a decent skin and you can only take credit on your template customizations, which are... To put it lighty:
Poor.
Let's go into the forums now, shall we?
Oh God, I don't even know where to start.
Put your Welcome to Wordforge!and your Random Quotes box in 1 table.
Cell rollover ON color is too dark. should be a 2 shades lighter than the OFF color. Mmmmm.... You win a point for the custom forum icons. But then you lose it because they are not consistant.
Your forum dex. is ugly. try again.
Your thread view doesn't look bad, only your tables are out of sync. (FireFox)
Game Over.
