there are so many subforums etc (at least 45). that one has to wade through I usually just give up.
I can't believe that the site owners really believe this has bettered the forum experience in any way. It makes navigating the forums tedious and boring not to mention there are sometimes only 4-7 topics active.
I have to agree with this. On the old forum, I'd visit perhaps half the sub-forums and find something interesting to read, and the classifieds were a snap to scan. Now, I only visit two or three sub-forums and often leave without reading anything since the posts are spread out so widely, and having to drill down through the classifieds makes me less likely to do so.
