1). Create your own, unique style from scratch as it is what will attract users to your website. While you may want people to be familiar with navigation areas on your website, the goal is to be different, not like another website. I've not looked over your coding, but if you did copy content, it'd be best to go back to the drawing board, think again and start over. Nothing makes you look worse than copying anothers work, in small or in whole.
2). I am on 1280 x 1024 and cannot read the navigation bars at all, on higher resolutions they look even harder to read. Use clear fonts that are easy to read on all resolutions, or at least most of them. Currently, I can read pixel font easier on higher resolutions than the current.
3). If your website is about your products and services, allowing others to sell their on your website does not make your products stand out. It'd be easy for another member to come in, create the same product and market it better and have an edge over you, on your own forum as well.
4). Worry about moderators latter when you need them. There's no need to start promoting members right away, especially ones you do not know and then have them sit there. Most moderators want something to do.
