Well Travis, you've done some nice hacking on your board, but your color scheme is not really at its best. For example, putting a light blue (like the on you have) on a white background, is a bit of an eyesore the the eyes. This is a reason why it'll distract some future-members from your site. Also, your Top graphic is very simple. YOu may have great posts graphic, but you should change your header. Your copyright color is way to light for your background (again change it to a darker bg if you want).
Other than that you've got a great board, great text effects you've made there!
