Hey guys, this is just a post to whom it may concern, take it for what it's worth --

As a relatively new member of the board, I've noticed that there are a lot of different forums. Having participated on some other very successful, high-traffic message boards, one aspect that has helped their popularity is that they usually have just a few separate forums that helps to route traffic towards their area of interest but aren't so compartmentalized that posters have to switch in between a lot of forums to keep up on their favorite discussions.

Is there a chance that the forums could be streamlined a bit? It seems like a lot of categories could be combined and allow for more exposure to some different topics, thereby increasing participation.

Just a thought. Feel free to disregard!
