I think we have too many boards for the current size of the site. We don't want too many, so visitors don't see a wall of dead boards and think the forums are abandoned. On the other hand, we don't want so few forums that there's nothing to do.
One thing we used to do on message boards is set up an archive forum at the bottom and put defunct boards into read-only, so the history isn't lost, but they're out of the way. I think we should look at each dead board and decide if we really need it. For example, I think everything in the Boiler Room could be closed and archived. (We don't need a board for fighting...)
