It's fine that you don't have a white background. I don't either. Some off-white / gray is better. And, from looking at your design 3, it really doesn't look that great either.
What, I think, would improve the design of you site a lot would be to use some tables with different bg colors. If you look at cd, i see 6 different colors for table backgrounds on the index alone. Also, if you notice, the main forums listing is 3 colors in. Trust me, the difference between a frotpage'ed site and hard-coded html is the fact that your tables (or backgrounds with the <div> tag or whatever it is if you don't like tables and go with total css) can have such color variation. I think cd has 3 different shades of gray. It makes it look much nicer that if it all was the same color.
Now, I'm not going ot claim to be any big-web/graphics person, but I will tell you that the human eye likes variation. Keep the colors mixed up. (But please... don't go throwing random colors together. Different shades of the same color can be very good.)
my $.02 :)
