There's plenty of places on the general forums to talk about MoP, making another board won't help much imo.

Maybe or maybe not but on the general board its all kind of hapazardly mixed in with every other post and due to that MoP threads often get bumped to page 2 and beyond faster then if they had their own board.
Also looking for suggestions to revitalize these forums, as I quite enjoy the community here and appreciate the work of the mods keeping them much more positive, constructive and civil then the official boards.

I think 99% of the problem with the forums are there are too many boards. If you combined the WoW help and PvE/PvP to WoW general, it'd already be a lot more active. I see a lot of posts that fit in WoW General in various subforums--they get a lot less views because WoW General gets the most traffic. We also have useless forums like Diablo III.
Then of course, we don't have forums for more popular areas of the site--like guides or otheer things.
They're also very hidden. I think most people who visit Wowhead have no idea forums exist at all, they think it's a database...they don't click communtiy and see forums. We need to add a recent forum posts widget probably to the DB if we want people to realize we have actual posts (like on every DB entry, some reference to the forums).
So I feel MoP subforums actually would make the forums even more of a ghost town because it plays to its biuggest problem: visibility. I would argue that we should make it so there are 5 boards + class subforums, then have a MoP subforum and see what happens. :)(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Ashelia##DELIM##

Sounds good Ash and I agree a big ole Forums button right smack dab in the middle of the front page would help educate people to their existence.
I would also add the Dungeon and Raids board to the Wow general board.
