Sheesh, the forums have only been up a few days.
How about giving them some time to see first if the forum works properly to begin with and look at making it pretty and stuff later. There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff involved with running a forum including a server to run it on, making it secure, having a database engine and making sure that's stable for starters. I know, I manage a community myself.
I'd actually prefer the gang at obsidian focus on their project instead of the forums anyway.
