    Cute bio but it brings up a great question..

    Are we getting forum-fubar? Seems to me that we're getting a few too many forums and it's a little too confusing where stuff goes.

    If you agree, what steps do you believe we could take to cut down on both the redundant forums and the "where does this go?" factor...?

    As an example, wouldn't this have better gone in "World Events"?

    With 10 people here, do we really even need separate forums at all, aside from General Discussion (DMZ) and the Funny forums?

    Generally we don't need separate fora - it has always lead to at least a few dead fora and almost everything goes into "General" anyway.

    To make things findable these days most places seem to use tags. ... Don't see any tags around here though.

    You can tag your post (more options) when you create them, but that's a user-driven model.

    Well, I say you can, but apparently that's only for starting a thread, not replying.
