That phpBB theme is the most used theme and hence your users may get bored.
Try changing it.
Else speed are good on your site and loading is clean.

If you are going with font look dont ... Cambria is a MS specific font and even a lot of computers with windows doesn't have it. The font sets that is said to be on most computer systems and mobile devices are (Times New Roman, Times) (Arial, Hevetica) and (Courier New, Courier) and I put parenthesizes around the fonts that are similar to each other.

Yeah, I have a modification (phpBB) that lets you have blog entries. The reason it's slow is because of all the mods I have installed. :/

I know. The thing is I have A LOT of mods installed and it'll be a pain to get all the mods to work on other styles...

if the user doesn't have Cambria, then they will see the font as Times

I'm using this line of code to change the font everywhere:

* {font-family: "Cambria", Times, serif !important;}

from what I've been told, if a user does not have Cambria, then Times will be the font.

an admin on my forum, who helps me with almost everything said:

"if the computer viewing doesn't have Cambria, it will look for Times, if it doesn't have that it will use whatever the default serif font is."

I know that silly ... I said if you are going for the look. Cambria uses Text figuring and what not and some people like that look, that is what I am going for. I love Cambria but it doesnt show on some comps of mine or my tablet but for some reason Constantia (which is a similar font that uses text figures) does show up on everything I have even my cell phone ... go figure
