Pulling off a black background is tough to do.
You have quite a bit of
HTML errors you should fix up, otherwise it will prevent the website looking at it's full potential.
Also, please insert line breaks in your source code; it makes it easier for us web-techs to read to help you. (In PHP statements, use \n for line breaks in the code output)
I noticed that your "Recent threads" in your navigation is quite buggy (duplicate threads listed, anyone?) If you need help sorting that out, please contact me, I'd love to help.
On a last note, avoid breaking links; for example "What is FIRST?"
What is and
FIRST are coded as seperate links, but they but link to the same page. This can cause confusion (i had to mouse over both link several times to see if there was a URL difference)
Other than that, your site is off to a great start.
