Instead of increasing the number of forums, I suggest using optional 'tags' for posts. Use have the option of tagging their posts with a set of predefined tags (like play or bidding , etc) or can come up with their own tags. This is similar to the route gmail took - in the older yahoo mail, we could only create folders.

Ability to tag posts gives you virtually unlimited number of forums. Although this could be impossible since the software that is used doesn't support tags and it is not possible to change the software.

I like the forums as they are, except that I would compress some of them, to reach this setup:

- general
- natural bidding
- artificial bidding
- play and defense
- beginner forum
- laws

Maybe also a BPO forum, if that section is revived.

Another possibility is, instead of,

- natural bidding
- artificial bidding
- play and defense

to have

- systems discussion
- bidding problems
- play and defense problems
