I question now whether this is useful or not. I was thinking of merging everything into just 8 forums making it easier for people. Do you think this would be a advantage to the site or take away a unique aspect of the forum? Im not sure what to do.

When you have a huge amount of forums on your board without the activity to justify them, a potential member will see what appears to be low to no activity. This will possibly cause them to simply move on to the next site. My motto is to essentially start with one forum and add more to the board only when needed  | ||||
