Theme 3/5
The theme itself is decent, but the banner ruins it. Instead of using different banners, you should get one and just keep it. However, I do like that the background isn't locked to the forums. It kills me when the background always stays in one place, I like it to stay at the top, and the rest become black, as you did it.
Layout, 2/5
The layout is pretty chaotic, and the large forum descriptions are unnecessary. You could easily accomplish the same thing by adding information / rules as an announcement sort of thing like (I hate to say it) HF has in the lounge.
Memberbase, 4/5
The amount of members and activity looks fairly good. Nice job.
Groups, 3.9/5
You don't have too many groups, but the colors stand out. The critique team isn't required. You could easily just give them a userbar and give them default user color.

I find it difficult to describe a section in just one line. So many are 'do this here', 'this belongs here' ect.. I really dislike that.

In may be in your best interest to make a new mod for MyBB? Have it so when your mouse goes over a forum, a little bubble pops up telling you what happens there. That might be nice.
Or, you could just put a description in one line, then put the dos and don'ts in a rule thread in each section.

I've always know about this site through members here and I've always remembered what it's about and who it's run by. You've got such a good rate of posts that I think you can make your goal.
I am terrible at GFX but this forum is easily the best for GFX on the web that I know.
