I reviewed your style a little over 6 months ago and see no differences since my last review.
Just to re-cap (and be brief) I think the style looks great. I'm not to sure about the lengthy flash intro although the option is there for people to skip this even though the flash integrated throughout the site looks excellent.
Normally (like youself) I haven't got a problem in designing and applying large icons. Though I have to say the forum status icons are a little to big. 72 px width by 66px is a little on the large side and I would set a maximum of 50px square for forum status icons. Regardless of that, they have been designed nicely and complement the style very well.
In my last review I'm almost sure that I commented on the collapse icons and I'm sure these are different from the ones I seen before but there's still room (visually) for improvement. Normally, for the average person I would let this one go but your talents warrant for something visually more eye pleasing.
The lastpost arrow within the icon could do with being a little more prominent. I know what the icon conveys but I just think that icons within an image should show their prominence where necessary.
Overall, the style looks visually great. I've always been a fan of your style and see no reason for that to change in this review though I will say that several grievances I mentioned above should be addressed.
Good work and goodluck.
