To create new fora or not? That, is the question!

There's always a temptation to create new fora on this site, especially ones suitable to my own personal interests! However, right now, we have enough fora and categories to cover our userbase and while there have been some good suggestions, there just aren't enough users yet to warrant new fora.

I've actually been thinking recently, that it might be a good idea to remove some of the existing fora considering the complete lack of threads and posts. I feel this might make the site look less empty if there are less fora. I'll discuss this with the other Admins and get their opinion.

So when are new fora warranted? In my own view, any new forum on boards.org.uk should be created from the existing body of threads. Right now, I can see a case for having an 'Apple' or 'Mac' forum as a sub-forum of Computers based on the number of threads in that forum that are dedicated to Apple Mac(intosh) computers. Admittedly, I've started a few of them ;) but Mac has always, rightly or wrongly, had it's own dedicated followers (of fashion?) :)

I can see the case for it and indeed if I do decide to create any guinea-pig fora then that will be it. Will I, won't I? Who knows? Watch this space!
