Hey, great site! The design is flawless except maybe the left nav bar coming up to the top. I don't really care for that, but thats just my opinion. The only thing I notice that I would fix that would help your message board is....SEO Work!!! The first forum Salutations when I clicked on the forum I got this url http://jabber-box.com/chat/forumdisplay.php?f=2
Needless to say...thats not good. I see you are running VB so I would defintely get a mod that will make your forum seo friendly. They are very very simple to install and will help you out alot!
Hope that helps a little but besides some basic seo work it looks great! Maybe change the left nav bar

Thanks for the feedback Mystickcal. I modified a template to get that design; the side bar was part of the original template. I think it adds character
I agree with you about the SEO optimization point. I have a vBSEO license that I recently purchased, and after I install that the board will be SEO'd. However, I'm just waiting for the final release of the software before I load it up. So, it's coming, just slightly delayed
It's supposed to be optimized for slow loads... it loads the background and certain layout images first to ease the wait, but I know it can take a few more seconds than it should occasionally. Trying to fix that Thanks.
Maybe it's just me but the left-hand side navigation looks too small. Consider making it wider?
I also think your introduction text for visitors is too long. Make a "hook" sentence to grab your visitor into your site.
Ok, just changed the welcome header text to make it a little more to the point The left bar is fluid, so if you expand the browser window, the side bar will expand as well.
