I agree most of the gaming sites are to dark. What makes it bad is that most of these sites have small print - small print on dark background just doesn't work.
If you can ... I suggest a fixed width (800px resolution) layout. Fixed-width layout displays faster than liquid layouts when done correctly. Also, the black background would make the layout stand out more.
yes, I do think the left column should be displayed throughout all your pages -- it'll just make life easier for all your members
you may want to modify the login table to display everything on 1 row (instead of 2 rows)
when NOT logged in ... I see this message "Welcome to [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] forums." in your WELCOME panel.
