Past and present experience shows that subforums reduce traffic in the main forum, subdivide the community, increase the number of unanswered threads and create more work for staff (eg moving misplaced threads), which is why we’ve long argued against it.
It may work elsewhere although I’m not sure the IM forums are exemplary as they have the same problems as above.
