Re
My first impression was this site takes too long to load (I am on a corporate t3 line so...). I thought it was just my connection, but it is almost unberable on the dialup. Maybe it's just where I am connecting from...
The lined background (very background) is a little annoying when you have to scroll down to read the content - think marbles, or closer spaced lines, the fact that there were lines and oddly similar colors made me think my screen was broken a bit.
The logo needs a little bit of work, it's too "optimized"/grainy, if you are going to keep the same color scheme and want the same blockyness, keep the second line of text a single color, the green and red look icky so small and optimized.
You have a LOT of negative space (space with nothing in it). Since this is your intro page, I need to see something immediately that will make me want to hang around and take a gander. Look at the title bar for the forums - no more the 150-200px from the top spent on a title bar, your conten't doesn't start till almost halfway down the page - and one thing that comes to mind is I have to scroll. The more a user has to do to get to the information, the more they are likely to leave.
I'm thinking shrinking the spoon logo and the title logo and moving them up to within the top 150px and it would come out fine. (The oddly floating log in box should be moved in line with some other formatting or on a line all it's own).
You have 3 navigation bars and the category bar down the side has 2 different sets of formatting in two different areas - not really that asthetically pleasing.
Then, when I jump to a product page, my web browser blows up - maybe its the graphics or spacing or what not: keep the spacing the same, so if you have content in one area, keep in that same area (size as well) throughout the entire site.
Other then that, the site looks nice and I may think about replacing my wooden kitchen utensils :)
