my suggestion would be to have fewer subcategories.  when i visited,
it always seemed like there was a bewildering array of different forums,
and i didn't know where to start.  it's probably better to start with a smaller,
carefully chosen set, and split them out later if it's warranted.  forums
succeed when they attract a critical mass; it's hard to do that if you
start out too dispersed.
