We could maybe do with a Business, Finances & Investing Forum? 

The only drawback is too much talk outside of bitcoin type businesses? which could be a good reason not to have it i think.

What type of threads would you suggest go in this new subforum? I think most could probably just go in others such as Economics so I'm not sure it's needed of that there would be much demand for it personally.

Well my thinking was like:

Internet Marketing discussion, how to etc
Trading advice
Starting and running a business discussion bitcoin or non bitcoin (however perhaps the forum could be bitcoin business/investing/finanace only?)
Mortgage questions
Tax questions

Anyway nobody seems that pumped for it perhaps a bad idea ;D

A candidate for a new subforum would typically be already spilling into and disrupting other subforums. If you can find that then maybe that would help the case.

Not so much a bad idea as not being very necessary. Marketing discussion could go on a plethora of economy boards. Trading advice in trading discussion, bitcoin business also fits into a couple of the economics boards, or project development, service discussion, etc. Investing/finance is in the same boat as the others. Tax questions are in the legal subforum, and Mortgages and everything above that isn't Bitcoin related would go in off topic.

Definitely not a bad effort at getting new boards. None would be detrimental or annoying, they just aren't very necessary based on where you can already post. In order for it to be worth splitting a broad topic board, there must be so much volume of one part that it chokes out the rest of the board. Faucets became microearnings because they were spamming service discussion/announcement. Ponzi games were choking out the gambling section, so investor based games was made, etc.

OK thanks for the detailed explanation.  Makes sense to only create new forums when its needed for sure.  We aren't short on sections here for posting.  I will say, off topic is a strange place with a very broad mix, not always the best for serious discussion - its cool though most stuff can fit into your suggestions :).
