Hrmm that is a lot of content pre-launch... advice i should heed.

I'm not one to have lots of forums to begin with but normally once i have the forum 'done' i then start advertising it (lol see my sig) and work on putting content in over the next week or so...

(as i write this i realise that i've put far too many forums on the site in my sig - will have to fix that!) :o

Cheers,
Miyagi

5-8 is a perfect amount. That's how many my new community will have. There's no need for dozens of forums when really they can be condensed. Having dozens of them for a new forum is just stupid, it puts me, and probably a lot of other people ever joining up.
