Really nice Site. I have to agree you may have to cut a little down on the green it can be pretty hard to focus on areas because of this. Im not sure about the font in the navigation looks a little not right for the site IMO.
Your forum looks like it needs a little modification to make it look like its part of the site.
Other than that great !!!

Nice looking, have to say not many people try green color for a website, but yours is ok. Modify the forum a little bit and then it will be just right!
Whoah! Yeah, that's bright. I certainly wouldn't want to look at that for too long. (edit... okay, after awhile my eyes started to adjust... it's not so bad)
One thing that strikes me immediately is that a lot of things seem to be too small on here. The graphic headers especially are very difficult to read ("a webmaster's dream", "crop", "free scripts", "add a script" etc.)
Otherwise the layout is quite good. I really like how the header and navbar link together, and the way that the palm tree leaves sneak off the left side there to bring things together in that area. I also like how you've named the navbar "tree" - maybe you could do more with that analogy throughout the site.
This might be just me, but I don't feel the need to read a running commentary about everything that's been done on the site. A lot of sites do this and I just have to wonder why? Who wants or needs to know all that? A simple list of links to new items would be much more appropriate.
I get alot of image repeats, especially on the forum =\ The logo at the forum has some mad repeat and it looks horrible IMO. Other than that, it looks good.
Also, the pictures section (Daily Hotties) doesn't go with your site. I know I wouldn't put it on mine, unless it was a Daily Hotties site.
what is that daily hotties section doing on a site like this?
i assure you people wouldnt go to the site for that, that section would really be ignored mostly, you might even lose a few visitors who might be insulted by it.
anyone can do any amount of work provided it isnt the work they are supposed to be doing.
Wow, I didn't notice that one before. Definitely get rid of it, it's very sexist. I certainly wouldn't continue visiting a site that had something like that on it.
Way too Green IMO, you need to tone it down or provide sunglasses! Certainly a bit different but it does feel a bit squished over to the right hand side of the screen at 800*600, I would move it all over to the left a touch and get rid of the horizontal scrollbar. The pop-ups are very annoying as well!

I think the green is ok everywhere, except as the borders. It's too loud and glaring. Draws attention away from the content within.
It's obviously a common theme on your site, but I think you might be visually overdoing it.
Oh, and that Daily Hotties section has no business being in a code site.

I can take one popup, but as soon I clicked on your website 2 huge popups opened.
I closed all 3 windows.
