as it is right now, the forum list is a bit of a mess and it is really hard to find where you actually put your post to see if there were any replies, i think a lot of the subforums could do with being merged together because there's a lot of repetition and entire subforums that can be replaced with stickied threads at the top of another forum. i set them all out in word and had a look at what was what and i came up with this as a rough idea, it's open to interpretation ofc but i reckon right now the whole place is spread way way too thin and i find it really tough to use =/ i hope this is okay and not stepping on toes or anything
