Thanks!

Here's a good idea for a new forum, the spoiled brat forum.  This would be where all the whiners would get together and complain about how all free sites should wipe their behinds.
You could also have a list forum where all the whiners could list all the things that aren't good enough for them.  Oops, forget that one, the list would never end.  Nothing's good enough for some people.
 

Of course, a "Here's a dollar, get a clue" forum might be helpful to some of the members here.

Why more forums? Then it becomes less generalized, and you must wade through all kinds of forums just to read one or two posts in each. Isn't it easier to have them all in one forum, with 10-20+ posts to read all at once? It's pointless having tons of forums. Like this one place I know of. They have a European parks, American parks, European coasters, Amercian coasters, and so many more forums. What if you want to look at them all at once? You can't. They are all split up. I'm sure it's not only easier to use when there are fewer forums, but I'm sure much easier to manage. Jeff is always saying he doesn't spend all of his time on here, and I'm sure he doesn't want to spend the extra time going through additional forums which do nothing other than split up the major one on here.

Fortunately, I can speak from experience that it's a bad idea. Why? Because CoasterBuzz started out as a forum-only site while the portal was being built. It was a complete waste of time.

One competitor is so frgamented it's ridiculous, with some overlap that doesn't even make sense. Why have a "park" forum and a "coaster" forum. Aren't they about as attached as can be? Can you really have one without the other?

URC used to have several forums, and Eric eventually tanked that idea because of said fragementation (and I seem to recall users not wanting to check several forums).

In a nutshell, it's not going to happen.
