Design looks great. Layout of the forums looks eerily familiar *cough*...but I appreciate you not stealing my awards like you *tried* to do with the member ranks...
Yours (loss of quality due to resizing without the original source .ai file):
Mine (the original, hence its beauty, with vector resizing):
I'll assume you had a friend help you and you have no clue about my website (despite you posting on my status in regards to another site doing something similar to yours, but you deleted it and probably thought I wouldn't see the alert and thus not look into you and your site) and your friend was the one that decided it would be cool to use my graphics I paid for, and not you.
I understand wanting to be cool like one of the biggest sites in the niche, but originality will set you apart. Most gaming sites that copy us are dead within a year so congrats on surviving through it! You certainly have a lot more originality compared to most of the new gaming sites out there currently (or in the past) and it appears to be more active than some gaming sites that have been up longer than you. That deserves a pat on the back, our niche is one of the hardest to grow in due to the sheer volume in our niche. I've seen hundreds of gaming sites come and go but it looks like you have enough passion to keep yours going...just remember to not steal things

Borrowing ideas is great, changing those ideas to suit your community is even better! But "borrowing" graphics that you didn't pay for or create yourself is just shady.
Moving on. You do need to fix your login/register:
Homepage looks nice, I'm assuming you are using CTA!
I like the larger avatars too!
We are about to integrate those super responsive social buttons too
Keep up all the good work (aside from taking that small graphic).
