Just made a custom forum skin for my guild
What do you think?

to be honest... i don't think many people like that style.

Any more reviews?

The artwork looks nice but usability and the technology is lacking. Why such an elaborate and memory intensive background if it gets covered up by the forum anyway?

^ my thought exactly, the skinning is still lacking as you can tell its 100% phpBB...try modifying the templates and not just the css.

I think it's a bit unprofessional, the header part especially. You have a weird image there and that description text in the left of it is totally unprofessional. Try having a header similar to www.antolage.com/forums/. I mean a header that will fit the forum and will be part of the design.
