Graphic Designers forum...
First let me say that I love this forum and I refer to it often. I think that it is a great place for web-masters to come and share resources.
I have tried to create my own forum dedicated to graphic designers. It is sitting on my personal site as I am not sure what the response is going to be. If it goes well it may get its own URL. we'll see...
the URL is: http://www.dornbyg.com/board/
Please know that I am not trying to take users away from here. I only want to specialize in the graphic design part and would love it if there could be some sort of brotherhood.
Thanks and please let me know what you all think.

I think that you'll have a lot more credibility if you get a really great design done. Have you seen graphic-forums.com? I think that's the URL - founded by a TWF alum. They've got a bunch really great looking skins for the board - impressive, and they've got a really good community there as well. So that's what you're up against.
I personally think that it's not a good idea to start a community with a huge number of forums - the more forums you have, the more spread out your posts are, and a the lower your concentration of posts. With a low concentration of posts the boards are going to look really empty and people aren't going to want to join. If you condese things more to start out your community will look busier and people will be more likely to join.

Thanks for the feedback... It is odd that there is the graphic-forums as I have been doing searches trying to find a site like that.
The reason that I made mine is because I didn't find anything.
I will try and combine some of the sections.
Thanks again!
