Chris, the design looks great. Here are my suggestions:
1.) The ad spot needs to go. I use Google Ad Blocker so that's just going to be a huge empty space anyways. A lot of people are going to have this same issue.
2.) The width of the design is gigantic, IMO. Why not break it down to the standard 960px? No one has a problem with that.
3.) It represents the current TFL in no way at all. At the very least, incorporate some current colors.
I'll add more if I can think of them.

Losing these colors is one of the things I am most looking forward to. I absolutely hate the current design, I think it is among the worst designs I've ever seen on a forum (I've seen worse, but none of them were implemented). I see no reason to keep the current TF colors, they aren't even the original ones anyways.

I disagree.. I like the colors here. They are bright and attractive than the usual boring blue that we see in most forums!

Is this sarcasm?

No, I was serious. I don't see any ads on any website because my "AdBlock" extension makes them invisible. Even if I didn't use the extension, four of those ads take up quite a bit of space.
Also, regarding what I said about the colors and the look of the design:
I do agree that the current design looks like vomit after a great night on Bourbon St., but as a long-term establishment you'll want to keep something to remind people of what this place used to be. You want them to feel at home rather than a foster home. I understand that the colors might not be what you want to keep, but I would hope that someone could think of something to carry over.
I hope my suggestions and comments help.

I know Artashes is a generous person in terms of investing in this community, but do you really believe he wouldn't want any advertising space? Not having a dig at you, just pointing out that some form of revenue is essential. At the end of the day he will want some sort of return. I have to say that I would probably over look any advertisements that are placed there. So may be worthwhile looking into where is the best place to put them? But it may just be me who over looks that area of a design.
Little off topic, but Artashes have you considered having sponsored topics? Say in the coding section a reputable member can have his own topic stickied for a set price a month. Or even reward members who contribute with free stickies. Just a thought.

I know what adblock is ... I was just hoping you were joking as designing for the minority of the web that prefers to steal from hard-working web publishers is clearly not a good idea. By running adblock you're taking money out of the pockets of people who need it to create the industry you participate in.

I use adblock as well, I am used to open space on sites. It doesn't bug me and I find it odd that a site would take considerations for it. Why would a site take special income cutting consideration for the people they aren't making money off of? Not that it matters to me here; I have TF white-listed.
