My first recommendation would be to work on a nice skin. Visitors to your forum are probably going to be more interested in a more graphical/vibrant experience.

Yes, I completely agree. However, although I'm a decent programmer, I'm a terrible graphic designer. Any suggestions on where to find some high-quality skins? I've looked around the web quite a bit, and most of what I've seen has been very boring.

Well - you could choose a fairly basic skin (something simple like our skin), or something else available.

However, then you could pay a graphics developer to come up with a really cool header, and some additional graphics to place in strategic places throughout the template to make it look much better.

I think paying for a full skin design, might be a bit of overkill and possible more expensive than necessary to get a professional looking site.
