Notice how few people have posted in this thread, not to mention the other threads in this forum? I think it is a pretty strong testament to the fragmentation of our fora! People…

I'll post a link to this in the moderator forum. I hope something will be done about this. You all are right...

What do you think about merging the PowerBook and iBook forums? I don't think we should merge the Power Mac and iMac forums - they are almost completely differnet products. The not…

I can't say from experience anything about the portables (hopefully that will change within 10-15 months...) but I think combining the Software fora as suggested above would really…

Indeed, first things first, one step at a time is the best way to go. Kill the excess fora off bit by bit... Cipher13

Think of this logistically... What will happen to the moderators of the forums that you kill? For example, the PowerBook/iBook forum would have three moderators. Do you think it's…

Also, do you think the "Mac Jobs" and "Buy/Sell" forums should be combined? I, for one, don't visit the "Mac Jobs" forum. Does anyone here find it useful? Also, the "Macs in the M…

I wish to suggest combining the "OS X General Discussion" and the "OS X Support" Forums into one "OS X Public Beta" Forum. I know there are tons of posts there, but the same kinds …

I think the forums should be rated by the user's responce: Over 500 Reply Forums: Power Mac G3/G4/Cube iMac PowerBook iBook Older Systems & Clones Peripherals AirPort and Net…

Well, that's a very good point, except that you can't just kill a forum unless you can reasonably combine it with something else, and a more logical way to rate user response would…

I think any forums without any "Hot Topics" should go.

OSX Server and Developer have also only been around for under a month. Same with the other 2 X forums really, but posts from the old X have been moved around a lot mainly between t…

Are you kidding??? That would take forever! ------------------ We're supposed to sing about piraty things!

We are considering the options... We deliberately split up OS X General and Support because our OS X forum was getting too much traffic. If you see similar posts in Support and G…

Thanks, I'm glad you folks have picked up on this one. I suppose you have noticed the sentiments in the "Can we have a BeOS Forum?" thread as well... umm.. talk amongst yourselves…

maybe change the Linux forum to an 'Alternative OS' forum... but i do not think there are too many fora, the categories are well delineated and seem to 'cover the bases'

Since Sean asked specifically about merging iBook and PowerBook, I thought I'd say that it sounded like a good idea.. While I own neither, I have been asking a few questions in bot…

I agree with you, Cipher. Get rid of "Macs in the Media" and "MP3". Bundle "IE 5", "OE5", "Netscape 6" into one forum: "Internet Apps"

ditto.

I agree with all that--Office forum should be under 3rd party software, etc... however, what about a "Memory" forum? or should there be a policy that all memory questions get dire…

Probs I can see with a memory forum: 1. Sometimes it can't be determined straight away whether a prob is memory related. 2. Newbies would post hard drive questions and stuff there,…

Ax some forums. Too many of them

Come on, its obvious people want to cut the number of forums... How long does it take to 'consider the options'? Well, thats only if you take it in the literal sense... Its ACTUAL …

I agree, far to many forums!!!!
