The portal is quite slow loading. Maybe need to ease up on the queries on that page.
As for your forum, there are two main problems.
-WAY too many forums. It will just intimidate new members, no idea where to post, too many places to post, will deter people joining up.
-Move all your What's going on junk to the bottom. You are just creating scroll for members to scroll down to the start of your forum list. You want to make it as easy as possible for members to view forums and post etc, so that stuff at the top doesn't help and it makes it look like who's online and statistics are more important than posting and viewing your forums.
