Default template... enough said.
Also... I think with new forums. It's better to start out with less categories. You have more then half of you categories with no posts. Maybe you should make it simple for now and combine some topics, like Music, Movies & TV, and maybe Video Games could all be combined into "Entertainment" or something.
I agree. When you have alot of forums and categories with few members, it makes your forum look empty, and like nobody posts. It's a very unnatractive feature for a new forum, attracting new members.
Also, you should have made a test board and completed all of your CSS, modifications etc on there so that when you get your new forum going, it won't be a default, and people will get the feeling that you made a greater effort in making the forum a good place. If the default skin is up, it will look like you don't really care, and the forum isn't too serious.
