Theme is clean and readable, but many users prefer a light theme. I suggest adding one as an option. Graphics all flow with the theme, I don't find anything that jumps out needing improvement. The exception would be the affiliate scrolling display. Animated ads are off-putting to many people, and affiliate images on your front page is visually ugly. You are not an advertising board, so you are not obligated to do ad displays. I would encourage you to find another way to display the affiliate ads, or at least stop the motion. Possibly a random code that changes the affiliates shown on each refresh might be a better choice. The Star Blog feature is really good, and a great eye-catcher for visitors. It tells them immediately what the site is about. It might be nice to have a place for members to post links to a certain blog entry that they liked and wanted to recommend. My main feedback would be that your forum looks, except for your Star Blog blurb, like every other forum out there. You have a unique point of view, and you would further enhance that by finding a way to express that graphically. One idea might be a web page that featured clickable thumbnails of your member blogs (a kind of directory menu for them) might be an interesting way to go. Include a link to that page in your submenu, or even construct a landing page that features that kind of image menu....it would be striking and different.

The navigation seems to be missing too, if I click on members, I have to either press back or click the logo to the board index, might want to fix that. Everything else seems quite minimalistic, which is good, you don't need to have much here clearly because it would put off the main purpose so yeah, that's good. Going on something that HelenaZF said, maybe have a webpage with a directory and have one of past star blogs, with an image to it. Though the page of all member blogs should just be a link with no image, so they have something to aim for. Just a thought.
