Okies:
Colors/color scheme:
Okay, your main colors are red and black, with various shades of gray in between. Sometimes these colors are overused, but I think you have blended them well here. Especially considering your "flame" theme. However, I do think your white link colors area are a little bright. Perhaps a dark orange would be easily on the eyes plus blend in better.
Otherwise, I think you have used colors well here. I really don't have much else to say.
Overall: Good job on your color scheme.
Graphics/images:
Banner - You have a great banner. Did you design it yourself or is this skin part of a template? Either way, it's great.
Menu buttons - However, these stand out sorely with that great banner. Some nice customized ones would be great.
On-off icons - These are pretty bright white... but I am assuming they change color when they are new?
Info center icons - Same with menu buttons. These are just default.
Gradients/headers and footers - These are awesome as well, just like the banner. I do think, though, that the category text color might be better as black instead of white. (Plus the Info center text is red and hard to read...)
Background - Nice and plain, doesn't distract from the forums. Good.
Overall - You've done a great job so far on the graphics. Just keep up the good work and replace all those other default ones.
Content/boards/theme:
You have a nice amount of boards. Not too many. Just make sure that all of them will be posted in regularly.
Well, I can tell by your welcome table that this is a general board, and you've shown that with a variety of topics. After your forum grows, you can probably add more topics to what your members want to discuss. But for now, it's fine.
Layout of your boards - I am confused by the bottom two categories. It says Members only, but then it also says Admin test area. Is this part of the Staff area? If so, it should be into the Staff category.
Overall -- your content is good..I just think it could be fixed up a bit so it's a bit more clear.
Coding/Odds 'n ends:
Your welcome table is good. Nice explanation, you have links on there. Good. So, then, I don't think your newsfader is necessary. I would just put that info into the center of the welcome table and deactivate the newsfader.
Plus, your affiliate bar and welcome table are not the same width. Look through the code and match up the width with the one you have set for the rest of the forum.
That's about all I noticed.
Good job and good luck to you. Keep working at it. Any questions, please ask.

You are welcome. : )
If you make some changes, I'll be glad to take another look.
