Alright, this is the first design I have been fairly happy with in a while. I am a bit iffy on the maintitle, dunno about it yet. Obviously it's a wip and things are due to change and there will be more added, but this is just a first idea of it.

I do quite the colors combination, I thought they complement each other well. The banner/logo area was poorly constructed IMO, it's pretty messy with the unnatural curve and the inconsistent of the strokes thickness. I somewhat like the maintitle just because of the right side (where the dotted areas) is minimum with the square dots and light shade of abstract orange thing. Maybe duplicate that for both side? Who knows. The light scan line is very light, perhaps tone it down a lot more so it doesn't pop out so much?
OR you can make it into an OSS, work around the square dot maybe?

I don't like the colours, but I do rather enjoy the forum design. It's pretty unique from what I've seen.

Beautiful colors. The thick light line at the bottom left of the banner looks cut off though. Also, while it is nice, the maintitle is a little busy, and the text is hard to see. Otherwise, love it.

The colours almost work, but not quite in my opinion. If you make the background and the grey type colour used have a tiny bit more contrast, it will match the orange a lot better, and you'll have some great colours. :D

I also think the maintitle text shouldn't be centered, as it doesn't really look correct on this design. Maybe put it on the left hand side.

There's too much neg space between the category and the navigation, they both look randomly placed, and need to be moved closer.

In my opinion the header needs a lot of work, it looks flat, and a gradient, or a bit of lighting would really spice it up. The shape is nice though.

Overall, it's a good design though. :D
