Why is it that your recent work has taken a turn for the worse? Some of your past userbars blew me away, while these newer ones aren't so great at all.
You need to antialias the userbar as a whole, the pixelation (on the text especially) isn't very appealing. You also need to work on your text, it's looking very bland, as if it was just slapped on - try playing with layer styles.
The bar background isn't very comprehendible at all. I can see a bunch of grey/red filler with what might be feathers (?) sticking out the sides, and some spiky red lines along the top and bottom. I would suggest attending to this by making the background image clearer, and more obvious with what you are actually trying to make it resemble.
The coin-like shape behind the text, as well as the stars, are the (only) positive aspects of this userbar. I'm always interested to see more userbars from you - you just need to get out of this metaphorical hole you've dug yourself recently.
