Too many categories on new forum?

Hi all,

After some opinions here.

Just started a new forum about 2 weeks ago now and was wondering if you think I have too many categories for such a new forum?

It is a general forum so there is a few categories.

The URL: www.im-here.co.uk

Not very many signed up yet or talking but for 2 weeks running you can see why, haha

Thanks all for your advice and opinions

its a bit bit also i dont know if people in general forum would like that type of bright color its ok when your doing seo or gameing in fact kinda expected but general ones like calm colors but thats just me

 

Make sure each forum has at least 5 threads, if they don't than I'd suggest merging them until more space is needed..

 

Yeah the colour was a slight concern of mine although I liked the dark colours. I might change it soon though to light colour before I have too many people signed up to it. Less people to disturb.

 

12 to 18 sections is enough if you do no have a lot of post the more sections you have will make your forum look even more dead. I hate seeing forums with 25 or more sections I would be ok with seeing like 12 secs & like 20 sub sections than seeing 25 sections

 

excellent advice

 

I actually like the colours used. But I do think the forum is too general; it doesn't seem to target any particular group of people, except perhaps UK residents.

 

Section count is fine but I'll be honest and say that your forum has no appeal as a General Discussion Forum.
