I'll moderate the Politics forum as long as noone minds me replying with my non-party views and then closing the thread :P
Thinking for yourself isn't allowed.  Pick a politician and go with him. 

To be blunt, I think it would have been better to just merge boards rather than create new ones.  If you start making too many specialized boards, overall forum activity will go down.

Usually there is a flurry of activity in these new forums and then they quickly die (example).
You're right.  That's why one of the main things I said to Sidoh, and he can find the quote if he wants, is that "n` = n, where n is the number of boards".  We did re-arranging and house-keeping, not adding.  If you go down and count the list, we actually ended up with less (because I made some low-traffic but valuable boards into sub-boards)

Do you see any new boards?

We merged some, and re-named some.  That's it.

So I win.  Ha!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

The math board.

That's an example of one that's been renamed.

Yep, we renamed 'riddles' to 'math'. 

Hooray for cheating! :)

But yeah, the Math board is the only board that is technically "new".  But we eliminated at least 3 other boards from the main page, so we still ended up better off.  And it won't be around forever, unless it stays good and active, Ender wanted a project-board, so ender's getting a project-board :)

I'll join the political party "iagis". They tend to represent my view best.. at least relative to the other shitty groups.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

You are not allowed to talk about that.  I take your permission away.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
