I've been researching a lot of forum boards and it seems most people gravitate to the general discussion section even when you have lots of sub-topics.
I'm thinking just one large forum works best.
Your thoughts?

I think the amount of topics is determined by you and the flavour of the forum you want to run.
If you want to encourage newbies, then have a newbie section, so they don't feel like they're going to be eaten by the sharks.
If you want to encourage traffic trades, it's a lot neater to have its own topic section.
I'm all for one general area for most boards, unless they are resource sites; in which case, I would probably have more than one topic.
