I manage two websites for a local artist. The first one is a traditional website and the next is a forum. Not getting much interest on the forum and wanted to replace it with another site. Any one run two sites on the second topic and wanted to get a few ideas on what to consider.

In what respect? Just in managing the two sites, or generating interest, or what?

We manage both The Webmaster Forums here and A Padded Cell - two sites, same topic. We would really like to be able to consolidate them but haven't had the time to do it. That would help us to integrate commenting on articles with the forum, better promote content between sites and things like that. Then we could funnel traffic that currently arrives at both sites serpately into one central site. They currently use the same theme through Drupal multi-site, so that's not a problem for us.

I'm going to change the title of your thread to better reflect the question.
