class forums are somewhat difficult to maintain population in this early in a game. It takes time to get a good set of percieved experts in there, and for people to see enough posts by them that they check regularily and recieve updates.It's kind of a chicken and egg thing initially. until some people take up residence and start decorating the place, there's no real reason to visit, but why visit if there is nothing there in the first place, etc. They'll get there eventually.
