The forum skin works, yet at the same time, you're not delivering on your own brand. Your logo is bland, nothing that i'd remember tomorrow morning - get some custom work done. Your tag line is "Free and Paid advertising solutions" or is it "The best place for free and paid advertising solutions"? Decide which one you want to emphasize on and use it rather than 2 different ones. There's only a slight difference, yet this difference shows inconsistency.

Like many other forum owners, me included, you're making the mistake to allocate your prime real estate, the masthead, to Google ads - unless they're really paying off for you, there are better things to place there. Maybe your own promo, a reward program for being on your board, etc. Move the Google ads to a different location.
Same goes for the animated banner on the very top of your page. This is your place to brand your board - you can sell this space once your board is established - at this time you'd also get better traction/more money for this spot.
Much like NamePros, i'd include ads in between your posts, these ads show up when unregistered users browse your board.
Last but not least, AFTER the logo has been developed for, you should place it as a favicon to further establish your brand.

Voila`, that's it. Lotta words for not that much to do.
