This is a webpage i just got done doing for a writters guild. It is one of the best ones that i have done, seeing how i'm kinda new at this, but i was wondering what your thought were on how i could spruce it up a little when i do the redesign...
It looks like you spend days on your logo, and 1 hr on the rest of the site. Try to have the "modules" in the site kind of fit the logo style. Make it have curvy metalic borders or something. Right now it looks kind of plain, and looks very plain compared to the logo.
As for the text, it is hard to read. I have to either squint or highlight the text. It looks like you have a lower resolution on your monitor or your contrast settings are different then mine perhaps. When you are chosing colours, you want the text to contrast more to the background, just in case. Not everyone will see your webpage the same way you do. Perhaps increase the font size a bit in some places.
For the forum, perhaps have the background inside the "tables" lighter then the page background, so it looks like its slightly sticking out from the background.
Sorry if I went on for too long, and I didnt mean to trash the site, just giving you my opinion.
