Great job. The header looks great, the navigation is all there.. simple to use. That's exactly what I like to see in a forum.
The few things that I don't like:
The placement of the ads (little width banners centered in your content area )
Scrolling marquee / welcome guest box (well, for starters.. scrolling marquees are the worst things since sliced bread.. But the welcome guest box doesn't seem relavent with the nice "Welcome" image you have under the navigation)
Latest album pictures being displayed before the forums. You want visitors to scroll less. I'd put the latest images either at the bottom of forumhome, or in a right / left side column.
Seriously though, the site looks really good. The amount of time you spent on customizing the messy default templates does pay off. I enjoy seeing stuff that is outside of the boring / common color changes and / or purchased premade skins.
