Its not about the numbering of his forums, its that there is so much data in the post array and sub arrays that php is literately discarding it.

You don't need 300 forums, start small go big.

Create broader categories, and overtime specialize in forums as the population and traffic demands it.

If I saw 300+ forums and 0 topics, or even 100, hell, even 10,000 your forum would look like a ghost town.

I'd rather have 10-20 forums, with 500-1000 posts, that looks active.

No one wants to visit a ghost town of a forum, and you'll kill yourself trying to make it look active.
