Not sure if it has been mentioned, but there are many spelling errors (mainly that I've seen in the forum descriptions). That should definitely be fixed, spelling is important if you want people to take your website seriously, and even more so if you plan on selling any kind of products.
Secondly, I strongly suggest you delete all but maybe 2 or 3 of the discussion boards. It is unnecessary to have so many with 0 posts. If you concentrate all the discussion on one or two boards, then it will seem much more populated than a website full of empty forums. Trust me, you'll have plenty of time to add new boards as your website community expands.
Ads are necessary at this point, so I wouldn't worry too much about them. Your banner looks nice, maybe it would be a bit better without that plain font thrown on it though. Also, it looks like a copy of all the other magic sites floating around there. Try really hard to make it look different, bring something new to the table.
Overall I think you've done a nice job. Of course there are things to patch up, but you're way ahead because you've taken the initiative and already created the site. It's more difficult to begin than it is to carry though. Good luck raising the website, I hope to see you succeed, and I hope some of my words have helped you.
Peace
