Really like the site! The only thing I would change is I would take out all first person references and comments regarding the site itself. Think newspaper or magazine. They do everything they do format and content-wise without fanfare or self-reference. They just do it. Once you start bringing "I" into it it starts looking more and more like a glorified blog, which is NOT what you want.
I think you will have great success with this site, interest is huge and advertising dollars are abundant.
Feature articles from professional writers would work very well here, I would keep a pulse on what the hottest threads are and then seek some writers to submit content. A good way to get inexpensive content is to scour magazines for them, once you find something you think would work on your site, then contact the author and ask him to do a rewrite or condensed version of the article for your site. In the writer's market, you can usually get rewrites for pennies on the dollar, with no risk of infringement. Savvy writers do it all the time.
