You guys have an overload of forum headings, especially for a new site you guys should try and condense them. Once the forums grow, bring some back but not until then. Hope you take it into consideration...

What specifically would you like to see grouped? We choose our forums based on other sites, and our own experiences as to what works well. Of course well listen to any suggestions from our members, but if you could be more specific it would be helpful :)

Ok here are my suggestions, I don't want to sound bossy but this seems logical to me:

The whole of Liquid hardware could be put into a catagory called just that, Liquid hardware, or General hardware. This could be brached out eventually as support picks up...

Air cooling and Liquid cooling could be put together.

Trading post and reseller ratings could be put together, and the DC forum could be gotten rid off entirely.

So yeah, just some logical suggestions...

Thanks for your suggestions, we'll certainly keep them in mind. I think that we are probably going to sit on the forums as is for a while. After a few months when traffic picks up, we will see what forums aren't getting any hits and what forums are overloaded, and will try to create a balance.

Liquid Hardware will probably stay as is, since there are good reasons to seperate Intel and AMD from each other, and video is also usually a big category. We'll see how it goes with storage and networking, and general hardware has to be there to catch any leftovers.

We may likely combine the cooling forums, depending on popularity.

I know that trading post can be very popular with fresh entries. Trading post will likely have a lot of older, FAQ style entries...it wouldn't work to combine the two. Although we may eliminate trading post in lieu of a auction system, and may turn reseller ratings in to something less BBS, more database driven, in time to come.

As for DC, we are looking in to teams, so that will have to stay, and may grow actually.
