Hello.
First impressions are everything and you got that right in the bag, I was blown away with how nice it looked right off the bat. The colors all go together well very nicely, the skin is easy on the eyes. The forum looks very professional too, the banner is awesome and so are the menu buttons on the top. Gradients are also very nice. The on/off and Info Center icons looks very nice and while simple, go together very well.
The boards layout is nice and you don't have too many while not having too little, that's hard to manage I know from personal experience. I suggest making the 'staff area' visible to only staff members, I really never saw a reason for other members, let alone guests to see. It could make people curious as to what's going on there and all. You also done a very good job laying out the rules and having the most important board for guests to see, 'The Forum Announcements' board. Board highlights are good and the colors the titles of the boards turn to is a nice touch.
9/10. Good job and good luck.

Thanks for your comments, ToriJ.
The reason I have my staff board visible, is that we like to celebrate when we hit a certain post count, and it's just a little easier if members and staff view the exact amount of posts that we have. I used to keep the staff board hidden, but not any more.

I say, the skin looks like a premade. Try hiring a designer, and take that somewhere. You have a large variety of boards, and that leads t activity, which is good. Looking at it again, the skin really is bothering me. I suggest a little bit lighter, (solid black is usually never good) and then I may reconsider my rate. For now, Design: 5/10 Content : 8.5/10

Yeah, I REALLY need to get a new skin. Some of my members have asked for that as well.
I'll probably check out ProVision.

Noo!!! Premades = bad. If you want a successful forum, you need a skin of your own. That's kind of my point.

OK ... I'll just randomly hope some skin maker stumbles on my site.
