don't take my word for it since I'm not a designer, but in my experience, if the site has a lot of text white or pale backgrounds converts 75%-100% better than dark backgrounds. When there are a lot of images, like videos or thumbs, I think dark background is slightly better.
IMHO people is used to newspapers and books, therefore they like to see black on white text or at least dark on pale. You'll hardly found a successful site with lots of text that has dark background, so there must be something to it. Ask any newspaper, Facebook, MySpace, SE, social media or such if in doubt
