In my opinion: Oh please no!
I find it harder to navigate the forum than easier with all the subcategories. No more, please!
(Although, that said, back when we had a ton of games going at once on the old forums, a separate section for games only could’ve been useful. None really seem all that active anymore, they’re not taking up that whole first page or anything… but “Games” or “Forum Games” as one on it’s own wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen.)
I know, I’ve done that sometimes, and sometimes I don’t. But I still end up with a whole bunch of unread threads and so on, and don’t even know where to begin.
Yes, there’s also the “New” and “Unread” links, which I’ve only just started using - those took me over a month of being on the forums practically constantly to even notice, though!
Anyway… there are a lot of things about the old forums I miss… And sometimes I’ve felt that these newer ones are over-organized.
It’s okay to disagree. I’m likely in the minority, although I do believe I’m not the only one that feels this way about too many categories. It’s come up in conversation before.
Just as reference for @Heiopei and anyone else who would like subcategories in Campfire, I just wanted to back up what I said earlier by pointing out rfindley’s post here:
I never even clicked campfire but somehow just have ended there sometimes. Anyway i usually just flee as fast as possible if i see subcategories, unless i really need to find something.
