I don't come by enough to be really knowledable but the number of suggested forums seems excessive to me. Who would effectively monitor these forums? Based upon my limited observations & Les' comment it appears that the current categories are not being rigourously enforced. Having a whole bunch of new forums where posting are higgledy-piggledy placed would not make things better. Besides how would the newbies know where to go in this maze of choices? Maybe the board needs less forums rather than more? My personal take is that the current number is about right.

Also, maybe Les' evaluation is correct & the problem is starting scripters do not like to admit they are newbies. If this is a correct analysis then maybe renaming the starters forum is the appropriate action.

PS: Les, you say you are retired - is this from your paying job or just as a moderator?
