there's way too many freaking sub-forums... "too much" is definitely possible @_@

it's enough to keep users from sticking around... like me, I am already getting overwhelmed.

edit> see? I didn't even post this in the right forum

I just added a bunch of those. I'm going to hide them from view until users need them.

They're displayed to see what people think. So you're saying some should be hidden? If so which ones?

Several should just not exist at all.

Is your site everything-in-the-world to everyone at once, or is it a specialized site? Without a focus, there will be no traffic. My forum is staying minimal (whether it helps or not) and you should consider ditching several forum sections altogether. I can't tell you which, though. Good luck on that one

At any rate, as it stands, it's three full 1152x864 pages long, which is just like 'wtf'. Especially since nobody's here yet ;)

Well that is why I have them there. I want feedback.

I did hide some of them. ;)
