    Seems to me like you have your bases covered. I don't think its a good idea to dilute the forum too much before you have the traffic for it.

    It looks good as is. You don't want/need 60 mostly empty categories. If you find that you need more you can add them later.

    when is the best time to implement a forum on a site?

    A. After the site already has become popular with hunreds or at least 1 thousand unique visitors a day?

    or

    B. Right from the start and try to see it become popular over time?

    I would say A.

    ...unless you know some really good posters who will start and keep things running until it gets built up.

    Coming into an empty forum is like coming into a completely empty restaurant. Almost no one will do it.

    I agree with that, for sure. It's like one person is waiting for another to post before they do.
