I'd remove the non-poker forums for now. It's a poker forum right? And you're trying to build a community based around poker players....so focus on the poker forums until the need comes to have those other forums. You can easily solve this with a "Introduce yourself" thread in the main forum, as well as an "off-topic" thread where people can discuss whatever the heck they want. Same with a "Comments and Suggestions" thread.
This reminds me that I REALLY have to finish my articles on building a profitable poker forum, that I'm going to write for PAW. Maybe I'll do that today.
