good move, it makes more sense there. frankly, i didn't know it existed - although, since it's still not its own 'sub-forum', i missed it at first glance. i didn't realize it was in the forum description for 'administration'. generally it is a sub-forum unto itself, so i would 'administration' would be useful for policy and announcements, and 'suggestions' would be on the same level as 'administration', by its lonesome. that way you can put 'administration' on lock-down for only mods and above to post in, for instance.
It looks to me buy/sell/trade and city will be pretty close in this poll.
i would say, though, it would be best to generalize. you don't want to pigeon-hole yourself, you want to let the discussion and members grow organically. if someone came upon a forum and all it said was 'discuss LEGO CITY here', it might turn away SPACE or CASLE enthusiasts.
i don't think you need to say 'this is the CITY section' - perhaps it would be better to have an 'original themes' sub-forum and a 'licensed themes' subforum. with PHPBB3, you can then even sub-divide those further into sub-sub-fora like 'city, atlantis, creator, trains...' and 'star wars, prince of persia, toy story, etc...' if deemed absolutely necessary to striate in that way.
alternatively, instead of sub-fora, you could create new categories for 'licensed themes' and 'original themes' (on the same level as, say, 'general' and 'community' and then place the sub-fora therein.
