Forums always take a while to get going, and the uk caving community isn't that huge anyway.
With new, developing bulletin boards like this, which don't have many messages going through them, I think streamlining the number of forums available to post in may have a positive effect. At the moment, it all seems so fragmented, and it takes a lot of clicking around all the different forums to read and respond to what few new posts there are.
For example, the Digging and Diving forums could be removed and their topics moved into the UK Caving forum. Video & Photography can be catered for in the Equipment & Technical forum, etc, etc.
Trip reports could be catered for in a pinned topic in the UK Caving forum.
It's just a suggestion - may be worthwhile giving it a try.
