2. What's the reasoning behind showing stats instead of who's online by default (or why are is it a choice at all – isn't there room for both?)
3. Why do some forums have a border-left but not others?
Still, great start, looking forward to see it develop.
Thanks for the questions brad! This is the kind of stuff that makes me think and just helps me improve overall

1. The username dropdown would house the CP links and the PM link. The cog dropdown reveals New Posts, Today's Posts, and Buddy List.
2. I guess there would be room. They just seemed to be different enough from each other to put them in different sections. I'll put them together and see how it looks!
3. Jason got it, those are the on/off icons. I wanted to go for a simplistic indication so it puts the user's focus on the content. Would putting a bar on every forum (colored for on, grayed for off) make it less confusing?
