Tip: Grow your site with your community. Don't look at an established forum like NamePros and assume you also need to have 40 different sections for discussion. That just makes your board look empty and encourages people
not to signup.
Starting NamePros, I only setup 6 individual forums. As the activity dictated, more forums were added and existing posts for those specific topic were moved into the new boards. That way there was never empty forums.
Have a look at NP from March 2003, and compare to our current list of forums.
