Your Quick Review
Pros:
From what I can see, no offence, but there aren't any major Pro's for your forum. I noticed on your menu, the text looks pretty cool, with the line underneath it. Also as I looked down the page, and your New Topic/Post icon's are very nice, they are simple as well, which is good. Also, the Button Ad picture, for when there are none to display, is pretty good, as it blends well with theme, keeping the original colour scheme.
Cons:
For starters, that Halloween banner is very bad. You can tell it is bad, because (a) It doesn't even blend in with the header and (b) The text and gradient used is really bad on the eyes. I looked at your menu, nice graphics as stated, but you cant even tell it is a menu, it looks like a bunch of pictures lined up, there is nothing to define it as a menu, no border, no background, nothing.
Next thing, the menu of the left must go, people will want to go to your forum to advertise, not see who has the most posts, or to search inside the forum. Also I looked at your description's of your forums, and I am sorry to say but you have pretty much copied every one of FP's description, nearly copying a whole category, except for some ordering of forums.
The style, no one likes a default style, unless they were the creator of it, in that case they would most likely love it. You definitely need a new style, I would suggest a light style, maybe a bit dark, but not Black or Burgundy, as they wouldn't suit your type of forum. Also at the bottom of your page, you have some bad looking Your ad Here buttons, the gradient is awful, and the text is also awful.
Final/General Thoughts:
Not a very good forum, could do with some great improving, also try and make more original than it is at the moment, like making your own description's, which shouldn't be hard.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
I liked the menu text, with the line underneath it, as it was very easy to read, and also the New Topic/Post icons, which were pretty simple and cool.
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
The copying of descriptions, the banner, which was very bad on the eyes, the definition of the menu (of which there is none) and also the style, which was default.
Final Score : 4 - (Out of 10)
