It's a pre-bought style, so I won't comment on that.

You've got too many forums. Merge a few of them, and expand as you get more members.

I'd disagree on that...unless you've already lost a few. The forums are broken up logically from the looks of things.

You might want to look at the trader hacks here for the trade forum though

You might also look at the garage hack since you could probably turn that into a nifty board set up hack.

They are broken up, and half don't even have posts with more only getting minimal posts. There's no need for a forum overload if a great amount of forums don't get much activity. Start out small, because having too many forums can intimidate your members.

In general I'd agree but in this case I think the breakdown makes perfect sense to me. It's a catch 22 to be honest, I prefer a more clear forum break up even if the vb search is so good.

Plus the sites just launched so I'd expect no posts in a few areas. Personally, I'd give it at least a week or two to get settled see how the forums do then make a decision on culling or not.

Better, but still, 19 forums is a lot. I'd say around 15, max, should be implimented for a new forum.
