Yes I like it. Personally not completely sure about the menu (and the combination with red), but for the rest I really like it.

Yeah, I have to see how the highlights will work when I have it built. It's hard to tell now...

We can always make changes then (and by we I mean I )

EDIT: I brightened the active dot, but I'm not going to update the image until later since it's so insignificant.

Update (sorry for DPing again). I may or may not include the dots, mainly because I'm getting irritated with them.

I started experimenting with the featured content thing and so far it is kinda going okay, kinda not. I still have to finish some styles, but mainly I am having issues with alignment of the elements.

I still have to work with it more (I haven't even attempted to get the text aligned yet)

It's not going to be black. As I said I haven't even started styling the text. Maybe you didn't see the last preview:

Okay, so here is what I'm at:
 

Note: The shadow for the footer isn't going to actually look like that. I've improved it since I made this preview
 
I'm stuck now though on what to do for content. I know that I want two columns (Left is 600px for main content, right is 200px for latest content and info from the forum). But I'm still stuck on how to make the posts and such...

I decided to try and keep styles the same throughout so, here is what I have so far (this also has a better shadow on the bottom):

I'm thinking of expanding the content area so I have more room for the second column.

I can't suggest anything special but what about the links like HOME FORUM etc have Tabs/Bars?

I don't really think tabs would fit... the highlights that I have now will only appear when you're on that page or hovering.
