How many staff forums does your site have?

In this order, my forum has :


Staff chat- for all staff, general staff topics.

Office- For planning and brainstorming.

Think tank- Where global mods, and admins discuss or track moderation, member issues, reports, and the like.

Archives- for spam/archived/old/etc.. posts.

Admin- admin only forum. More "serious" conversations normally go on here.

Test forum, sub forum of admin- a forum only accessible by myself. I put my to-do lists, reminders, etc.. here.
 
In total, FE has 30 staff boards. 😀 Most of them are archives and subforums, though. It's very neat and organize. 😛
 
I like to do it like this

--Staff Chat (all staff members can access)

--Leadership Forum (Most Global Mods can access)

--Admin Forum (admin only)

--Staff Offices (only leadership gets offices)

I do not to many staff forums. However, staff communication is very important. So everyone should have a place to discuss everything.
 
I like to have a staff forum and then and admin forum, I also would create an office type board for myself where I can topics with new idea and create to do lists.
 
In the hidden depths of Forum Promotion, we actually have a good 40 staff and special boards. They range from each team's staff rooms, a general staff room, team leaders, admins, etc.

There are tons of reasons to have staff forums!
 
I only have one forum lol

I only have one mod though and my site only has about 50-60 active members daily.
 
I have a main staff forum and an admin forum, eventually once the groups start expanding and members start rolling in, I'll have a board just for each staff group, however for right now it's not really needed since most of the staff know what's going on in each group, and I honestly think it's better that way until each group starts needing their own space for their own threads.

What we refuse to do is have an "office" for each admin, since it's really not needed. We put all of our drafts, news, and discussions in a admin board and that's it, it enables the admins to collaborate more, and it just saves space and clutter later on down the road.
