To be fair, commenting on a PHPBB forum is very difficult. The colour scheme is reasonable, perhaps a little cluttered though. Your title text is good although I hate advertising ( the one in the top right )
Is there anything more to your site for us to have a look at or is it just this at the mo ?
Speaking as someone who recently started their own forum a little over a month ago (and has been pretty successful), is it necessary to have ALL of those forums? I've often found that the less forums you have on a new message board, the better. It's easier to build up post counts and encourage activity on a board with less forums.
Just my $.02 though...

I personally think it is very boring. If it's a graphic forum, you should really try to impress the visitor with an actual design. It looks like your using one of the default VBulletin skins.
You can try to spice up your site with some colors. Violet and white aren't the most attractive colors. I would strongly suggest you buy a professional skin from a site like http://www.extremepixels.com.
Good idea you have going, though. Good luck.

I'd rather not PAY for someone to skin my forums. In the near future I'll think about getting it reskinned.
I paid $30 for my forum's skin, and I believe that makes a HUGE difference in attracting and retaining members to any forum.
Trust me, the expense is worth it...
