I wouldn't call it a reorganising -- more just a simple renaming. The forums have always been organised in that way, it just wasn't implicitly noted in the titles. If you notice the PowerBook forum is in the section "68k Model Forums".
As LCGuy said, topics about PPC 'Books go in the relevant architecture forum. Although they don't have physical NuBus or PCI slots, they are actually based around the motherboard architecture. When I was doing the renaming yesterday -- and moving all the PPC 'Book topics that had been posted in the 68k 'Book forum -- I did consider adding a dedicated forum for the PPC 'Books. If people think it would be a good move then I have no opposition to adding one -- just let me know!
While we could add an Intel Mac forum, it doesn't exactly fit into the "vintage" ethos we've got going on. There will always be members who think we should focus purely on 68k Macs, but I've always been of the belief that the PPC models (especially the earlier ones) are similar enough to be of interest. That's also why we provide a separate G3/G4/G5 forum -- if people aren't interested in these machines then they can just avoid that forum. There are plenty of places where bleeding edge technology can be discussed, so I don't see any real benefit of adding more forums here. I guess it would keep The Lounge a bit tidier. Even as it is though, we have certain members who don't seem to want to acknowledge that we even have other forums here and just post everything in The Lounge -- I'm not going to point any fingers, you know who you are [
