Well, the site hasn't been up long enough to give an in-depth analysis, but you haven't done anything wrong. I have a pretty good knack for predicting forum's success, and I don't see this site dying anytime soon.
You seem to care a lot about the site's prosperity, which is given in your efforts to push towards expansion. In short, I look forward to seeing where your ideas take the forum and I'll be sure to critique your future actions!
