i think there are already too many sections. there are a lot of forums that could be combined (i don't mean eliminating topics, i mean eliminating seperations of topics). if this site is worried about attracting new members, or losing existing members, making new sections increases the likelihood of people losing interest. when i come here, i only visit the forums i'm interested in. this keeps me from accidently stumbling onto a thread i never even thought of looking for. fewer sections would mean me stumbling across threads i hadn't known about.
