Too much unused space and good luck getting that layout to work when the user changes the size of their text.

Also, iFrames are disastrous for me to look at. You could easily extend that layout and give yourself some decent content area without making us scroll. I mean, would you either look pretty or salvage the rest of your layout and maybe put something decent into it? Plus, you're going to have fun slicing it or whatever you plan to do with it.
Sidenote: Whoever's going to end up using it is 1) not going to have the same font, so include that. 2) may not be able to pull off the same effect and 3) will probably need more room for links. I mean, I write a lot and I usually like to have a lot of pages - aside from this, not everyone will need a place to sign in or will have a forum.
And let me clarify - a forum is
not a CMS. It's a forum and nothing more.
