1. The blue box on the right, no doubt where you plan to put ads, should be filled with the forum updates as it already is. I use a laptop with a 14" screen most of the time and if the forum is any lower I'll have to be scrolling each time to look at it, which would be very annoying.
2. Get rid of the silly 'Games' section. Ppl can search games if they need. Its not a main part of the site really. And shouldn't be given prime real estate.
3. News and Reviews look good where they are on the new design.
4. Poll should be higher on the page and definitely updated far more often.
