Theorodynamics (story discussion)

[FMzd]

This is a forum that I have decided to open very recently despite the fact that it is not totally complete yet. All that is left really is customizing all the icons (I'm redoing all of vBulletin), starting up the podcast, getting the gallery in order, and some of the business side of things (minimal advertising, affiliations, subscription preparations, etc.).

Podcast just needs its episodes, gallery I need to purchase and find the images, icons can be done while the community is taking its first steps, and business side I'm not even going to worry about until activity reaches a solid level. I'm still in this for the long haul even if I don't make anything out of it for a long time.

As you can see, I've made the skin mostly from scratch, and I would like to hear what anyone has to say about it and anything else on the site. Is the navigation friendly? Is it still good quality for a dark skin (I read a lot of stuff about how dark skins aren't that great)? How about the theme (topic of discussion), is it easy to see what it is? Would it be a forum that you would consider joining on first impression?

Thanks in advanced for any comments!

PS: There are a number of mods put into this that I got from this site and I don't have money trees in the backyard, so I'm sticking with 3.8 for a long while yet.
