I'll give it a 5/10.
The entire layout is nice, but I like it better when users design their entire site layout by themselves. In your case, you used PHPNuke. The reason for this is that if you used a CMS to design your site, then you're really taking the fun out of web development. Also, using a program like PHPNuke can make anyone look good which is why I like sites designed from scratch because it shows who's man and who's boy.
Second, the shoutbox seems way out of place. I'd say stick it to the side where shoutboxes belong. If you can, try to change to shoutbox colors to match the site because it looks like you're trying to shove the shoutbox in users' face.
Everything else is awesome! I especially like the corners or the login box. Nice!

I will give you a 5/10 too. I have no idea if you can modify the padding of the elements with PHPNuke but if you can you should separate a little bit the text from the box's borders. For example the "What..." in "Survey" box touches the border. I am using Firefox 1.0
I will quote you in the future. :-)

I'll give you 7/10. You must fill up your site though. As of now it looks great. But the only thing you need to do it fill up the entire page so that it will not look very blank in botttom as well as sides.
However php-nuke puts me off. Why can't php-nuke allow users like mambo, xoops and others? Postnuke, and others?
And for right and left menu texts should not touch the borderline, it doesn't look professional. Forum too looks quite messy unless you arrange properly.

Like ive said, I just started this, as you can see in the main menu, im placing selfmade arrows to the left, so they wont touch the borders, i could adjust the padding (yes its posible) but i thought arrows would look nicer.
The shoutbox is in development too, but ill rearrange it
(colors will match no worries)
I usually create my own websites, but I found out that its a crazy amount of work, making a selfmade news system, selfmade review system, selfmade download system, selfmade user login system. This is why I started using php-nuke, as it will be a community.(btw, why use another CMS when php-nuke has all i need and its easy to adjust. I couldnt care less wich CMS i use, as long as I can skin it the way I want)
Anywayz, thanks for the feedback

I like the layout of this site. Mine used to be similar. Could do with jus neatening up bit though and i sugest you move the shoutbox looks untidy there as it doesnt math the colour scheme of the site at all and is just plonked in the middle of the page. Apart from that ide give it a respectable 5.5/10
