Well put...

The only input that I have is to reinforce that notion of allowing the site to grow "organically" or evolve naturally as traffic dictates. It is an excellent idea to have a blueprint of when and how forums and sub-forums will be added, it is also important (IMHO) not to add those forums until conditions warrant it.

User/members may feel a greater sense of ownership or community as they experience forum growth first hand. IMHO, it is this sense of community that leads to increased participation.
