Minimum number of separate forums. A lot of places want to make a separate forum for everything, suspension, exhaust, motors, paint, etc. That just splits everyone up. We've tried to keep the number of forums as low as possible and honestly, if I had my way, we'd only have one forum.
Another strong point is that the admin team keeps a fairly low profile and keeps reprimands to a minimum. The community is pretty good at self policing.
This is also related to my first point. If you have multiple forums, then you have the members who make a point to bitch out anyone who posts in the wrong forum.
I also have to agree with Mark (Burger Boy - jeez!).
The forums are specific, yet offer needs within each. The populace knows exactly where to go for help. It's self-policing, though I never see that necessary, and go have that wonderful place called the Sandbox to discuss "other" things. Not to mention that our admins are the greatest. I sometimes wonder when this bubble will burst! Did we mention that this is all FREE!?
