Just because forums are "under utilized" is not a reason to stop having them or putting APPROPRIATE threads in those forums. Putting the right information in there... and figuring out how to advertise... might help.
Perhaps those forums need to be at the top of the list....
Might help the "advertising".

I agree with just about everything William says above. Also, if members added the most appropriate regional forum or fora to their MyFlyerTalk page and bookmarked MyFlyerTalk, they might be more inclined to click the link to the regional forum.
Rather than rearranging the fora, could an announcement be placed on FT for 2 weeks or so: "Have you checked the forum for your region lately? Click here for a list."? And maybe add an obvious link for the same period to add it to MyFlyerTalk. Watch traffic before, during, and after the announcement to see if visitations to these fora increase and stay that way.
