I find the design of this site has a negative tone. The yellow doesn't really work all that great. Just my opinion, but I think it would be better if you went with softwer more relaxing colors such as light blues...
Other than that, I think you should stop using whatever content management system you are using and start using the default installations of phpBB for your forum, and then modify it to have side-bar links, a news section, etc. Content Management systems tend to look too boring and organized, and lack any flare!
Anyways, it's late where I am, so take my comments for what they're worth

We're in the process of completely replacing this site with Drupal, so I'm not spending any extra time on upgrading beyond patching security flaws...
