Yeah that article makes sense, I haven't read much on SEO lately, but i remember pages were indexed better if they weren't more than 3 clicks away from your index page. And the more links to your content on the index was always better - up to 50 links was OK - but between 20-30 is suggested. You don't have much to loose I guess if you try several indexes ...
But going back to basics, the forum will grow naturally by word of mouth and friends of members joining.
It's just the fine tuning in between and the growth of the website which is rewarding and sometimes frustrating - not to mention the monetizing. Overall the site is going and growing well though.
