My first impression was your site seems very lively and busy so that would encourage me to join if I was interested in what your site was about.
I think it looks nice, but I have seen that skin quite alot.
Your portal does not look like all the other portals out there. Maybe you could remove the collaspible buttons on your news posts to futher enhance that feeling.
The only thing I didn't like was your left sidebar seems squished up against your forums. Perhaps try to increase the space just a little.
Nice job
