Too much specificity is not a good thing. We used to have a lot more sub-forums discussing various topics; the result of that was a whole bunch of lightly trafficked areas. It turns out that stuff like Health and Fitness, Pets and/or Needlepoint don't need their own areas; they can fit just fine in the areas we already have, and our member base just isn't big enough to support eleventy billion subforums and have a useful amount of traffic in each of them.
I'm not opposed to tags or icons, but that's as far as I would go in terms of subdivision.
