The RSS text "DarcScript" is rather small, but maybe that's just my resolution.
I absolutely hate shoutboxes. I don't see what they add to a forum. But, it's your forum. I would recommend removing it, though. At least remove it until you have the users to fill it.
Capitalizing Every Word Looks Very Unprofessional.
The forum descriptions have small text and are rather obnoxious (all caps). You should use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Be short and to the point. Leave any details for a sticky explaining the forum's purpose.
I hate forums where you must be registered to view threads. I'm not going to register simply for the sake of seeing if I enjoy it, and I doubt many guests will either. Having to register and then verify your e-mail (and risk getting it spammed) without knowing if you even want to join is not well liked at all.
Good luck.
