Forum navigation is broken. I like the old way where i can browse forums from the top menu shortcuts. Now, I have to go to forum listings every time I need to switch forum.

Do we even need the forums to be separate? The thought behind this was that we can split conversations and allow people to talk to people about a specific subject in some kind of shielded environment but really the community was never big enough to support this so it just seems to have stifled conversation in reality. My idea would be that all threads would be in one forum and we could use a tag / search to find specific ones of interest?

It would be a bit too chaotic with everything crammed together. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and Gaming sections are strong enough. Perhaps Sales could be rolled back into "Gaming-General", and an "Other" section to merge MMOs, PC, and mobile. One Website subforum and one Off Topic, with quicker navigation between them.

The tags would have to be super-intuitive, like something on the side of the forum page to immediately reduce to all threads tagged "Nintendo," and even then, can we count on people to tag as effectively as the subdivisions.

Primarily, glitches must be addressed. The whole "This User's Post Has Been Removed" thing should have been dealt with a year ago.
