Several goals have been mentioned throughout this and the other thread.

Essentially:

1. Improve (tighten) the overall structure of the forum. Why? It simply looks better, more professional, less like someone's socks thrown around a living room.

2. Reduce the frequency where people post in the wrong sections. Currently, there's enough confusion where this happens often enough to keep the mods busy re-locating new posts to their appropriate sections. A reorg won't eliminate this issue, but it will reduce it.

That's pretty much it. Short and simple. And if you compare the proposed changes with the current board layout, they're largely the same - it's only a few minor tweaks. No splitting of or joining threads required.

While they were set about a month ago, with all the feedback they're been improved some, but are largely the same as they were then.

Climb on board.
