Subforums, I would say are for splitting up a forum into finer detail, for example:
Operating Systems
- Windows XP
- Windows 98
- Linux
- Unix
Here as well as having a general OS forum, its been split up to organise threads based on the OS.
The number of forums you have partly depends on what topics the board is going to cover, and how many members/posts that you have.
Using sub-forums may make it more confusing for members or it may help by organising the discussion better.
