How many subforums would you put on a new forum, if you don't already have a really large community?

Is it ok to just have two or three subforums and then let it go at that?

What is the ideal amount of subforums?

Don't make the mistake of having too many subforums when you first start a forum, especially if you only have one or two members.

Otherwise, you will have a lot of empty subforums for a really long time.

Start a few catch all/generic type subforums and later as you accumulate more posts, you can divide them between more defined subforums.

What is your forum about?

If the forum is about pets, then you would need a lot more than two or three subforums to really cover the subject.
But if the forum is about gaming or fun/chat, then you could have two subforums easily and still be able to talk about everything you need to in that limited space.
