Not a bad start, I think your header has alot of wasted space in it, Also think you could better space out your navbar so that you don't have just 2 links on the top part of it. Also I noticed you don't have a link to your forum in your navbar. That is the first place I looked for it, and didn't find it, found it in the side navbar later. May be confusing to people that frequent forums. Also noticed that you have alot of forums for a new site. I would recommend cutting them down to make your forum look more active until a later date when you could seperate them out. Overall though, I think it looks nice and could be better with a little refinement.
