Well I was browsing the admin zone site today and I found a thread about getting new members to post. One of the largest things (according to the  admin zone members) that scares new members away is alot of empty forums.
Now I think the amount of forums we have is really good, since LinuxBoards covers such a broad topic, but I have a few suggestions.
1) We remove the new members forum and put the Official Welcome Yourself thread in the Lounge. If we need too we could probably make a link that shows up under The Lounge forum that links to the Official Welcome Yourself Thread (see example).

2) We combine some of the Linux Server forums, like maybe the Server Software and Control Panels forum.

Just a few suggestions, since having less forums (but more filled forums), according to the admin zone, generates more traffic.

What do you guys think?

I agree with the theory.  OK, lets do #1 and we can chat about #2 when thats done
