[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 4790, member: 920"] I see your points Helene, and they are very valid, and have a lot of merit. However, from the experience I have in founding two forums, and building them from the ground up, I realize the temptations and what works. If there are too many categories or forums, information does tend to get diluted - and new members, the people who will eventually determine the success of the forum, might get too confused and give up. Personally, I would do some things differently here, but I believe that jdeg is doing a wonderful job. I've found that the greatest success leads to the most work for the moderators. We (my other board mods and admins) look for trends in the threads, and when there are enough threads on a particular subject, we create a new forum and move all the threads in the new forum. For instance, if I were to see 25-30 threads on "landscape" style (sunset, open space, etc.) images, I'd probably add a "landscape" forum - and build out in a slow, methodical manner. -Gregory [/QUOTE]
