I recognize your site is quite new and that shows in your graphics and layout. I won't go into complex issues this time as there are many basic things you can improve on.

First off, let's start with the banner. It's very blurry, unprofessional, and looks done by an amateur. Pay a visit to the Banner & Logo Section of the Graphics Design section, where you can request a banner from many talented users that will be more suitable for presentation.
Now to the the Site Title you're displaying right under the banner. Since you're already stating your site's name in the banner, there's no need to re-iterate it again right below it. Find the option in your Administration Panel that hides the Site Title from being displayed in the header.

You are currently using the Navigation Bar provided standard by FM. While it is functional, it is neither convenient to click, nor is it attractive, so I suggest finding a set of beautiful navigation bars from the Navigation Bar Gallery. You can then select the option to hide the text in the Navigation bar (choose the "Icon Only" option).

Now as I scroll down, I see a lot of text and a dearth of images. Try adding forum icons to each forum section; this will greatly enhance your forum's appeal. Also, the structure & hierarchy of your forum layout is poor.
Go to Administration Panel (Advanced Mode) >> Display >> Structure & Hierarchy >> Select "Split categories on index MEDIUM" and save. This will create a neater, cleaner look of your forum categories.

You need more graphics and pictures all around the site as I see way way too much text. Text is good, but too much of it is an eyesore and will drive members away. Good pictures or graphics are the stylish way to jazz up your site. Try adding some graphics to the widgets on the rightside of your forum index.

You've just started and you've got a long way to go. Don't give up and I think you have potential for success Smile

Regards and best of luck,
