First off, take the following as contructive and not as me bashing you forum or style design. With that....

1). Honestly, there's too many links in the header and the postbit it too overwelming. There's too much blank space between one-line posts and the next because of what all is "crammed" into the left side of the postbit.

2). In the current state, I'd have to scroll down 4-5 pages just to see 3-4 posts, even those with just a single line of text or a few words each. Given that, I'd probably end up leaving before I'd bother reading the rest of the posts.

3). The pop-out side menu really needs to go. Linking back to vBulletin.com/.org is nice, but linking back to MySQL and PHP really serves no purpose for you or your community.

4). Too many forums, too little posts. Given, I understand the forum is newer, however, start with more prominent forums and add more in time. There's really no need to have 20-50 forums on start-up unless you already have a memberbased or the traffic.

5). I understand the need to obtain members, however the pop-up asking me to register and stating it will not go away for a minute made me turn away. Given a second chance, it pops up everytime I hit the forum home/index.php. If it did it only once, it would be more acceptable, however given it happens each time makes it a tad annoying.
