Your, banner at the top of the site is a tad to big in my opinion

It took much longer to load than the rest of the site, and then it takes up 1/3 (if not more) of the screen.
I prefer this to be minimalistic as specially for our sometimes slow internet.
In the web layout I used for our guild raid group are perhaps a bit too simplistic, but it is supposed to be functional for the members only. Currently I am not much involved with it anymore, but still keep it up for the guild that uses it for the 10 man raid progress.

The forum itself is also simplistic, but easy to navigate.

Your site is quite decent in my opinion, but is it easy on the eyes to spend time reading on the dark background?
