Default Xenostar.net
<a href="http://www.xenostar.net" target="_blank">http://www.xenostar.net</a>

I've been working on a redesign for Xenostar for a while now, and I'm really happy with what I've ended up with. I'm a fan of left-aligned designs when they are done well, in my case, I think that it is. I've edited a lot of templates, most specifically the Postbit template, if anyone wants to take a look at that and let me know what you think.

The forum is very integrated with an RPG modification (RPG Inferno) which I'm going to try to make larger and more detailed/balanced in the future.

In any case, the design was made to be easy to read and browse, so tell me what you think. Thanks!

Looks very nice to me, and I especially like how you've customised all the images, and not left the defaults anywhere like a lot of people seem to do. RPG integration seems nice, and looks nice it's a key part of the site, and all in all, design wise the forum looks good.

Need to fill up the Role Playing and Tech Talk though, empty forums look kinda bad, and activity, unless you've got tons doesn't create itself in an empty forum. Do have a nice community from what I can see though.

I also think you should somehow change the forum icons at the bottom so they either don't have the background or something, because this part:

Forum Contains New Posts Forum Contains No New Posts
Looks a bit messy because of the backgrounds behind the Xs to me.

Oh, and need to change the default smilies with some themed ones, or just a larger selection, since default smilies are always off putting to me. In all though, well done and good luck with your forum!

Looks great...I like what you've done, but just to let you know that at 1680x1050 resolution, the forum background is all messed up.

Wordpress pages and forum have different designs. More integration would suit better IMHO.
The menu on the wordpress pages needs more work.
The forum needs a good menu to display all other sections of the site.

Othr than that; looking good.
