Since the website is undergoing a lot of reconstruction lately, I thought it might be a good time to suggest some heavy handed forum consolidation. The forums have become so granular that some of them haven’t had posts since 2009. There is a lot of redundancy, for example:
-Nutrition
–Eating Well
–Diet
–Supplements
Eating Well and Diet could easily be a single forum. Additionally, the parent forum should serve only as a category, but instead it also serves a super-forum that can also be posted in. So if I have a nutrition post, it could feasibly go into either the Nutrition parent forum, Eating Well, or Diet.
I’d bet it would be possible to reduce the number of forums to 10, or so, while still maintaining enough specificity, while allowing for more natural and easy to follow conversations to propagate.
Maybe I’m way off base, but just a thought!
