We have all been there. :)

Yep that is how we know this.:D

Most all of us when we were noobs though, want the site to look really dazzling - to ourselves. At the end of the day the dazzle does nothing for the site and often is detrimental.

When you start a brand new forum, you want maybe 5-10 forums MAX, this includes categories.

You don't branch out until you need to. It makes your site look dead, even if its not.

Only add new forums/categories as demand grows and you need to specialize.

Even the biggest forums on the net don't have much more than 50~ forums.

Thanks Zack, and sorry for the last post/reply as tbworld brought it to my attention that maybe my response wasn't appropriate.....just high hopes and can't let others see that only certain ones are included......
