Additional Notes: Hmm, i would have to quickly point out that on first impressions there are some important aspects you are failing to make use of. Firstly, the header template is full of unimportant aspects such as topsites, news and announcements, the time, and a team legend this is all unneccessary and diverting away from the important content - the actual forums themselves. Try moving everything but the News and Announcements module into the footer template, this way they can still be accessed if neccessary.

Secondly, the forum layout needs ALOT of work done, one of the most common mistakes a user will make is adding in hundreds of forums relating to many different issues the administrator can possibly think of relating to their particular forum theme so to not alienate anyone. But as a matter of fact all this does is make your forums appear much less active, much less important and sadly ... dead. Combine forums together to make them appear more friendly and communal. A good start.
