This may sound like whining, but isn't the amount of subforums excessive in proportion to the amount of posts? Isn't it true that "less is more", esp. if it provides simplicity and a "flatter" structure?

The main reason I stopped coming to SMF a while ago was that there were soo many forums and life's too short to go clicking around them in order to find something of interest. Why does every kind of "entity" need its own subforum?

Every feature that has been asked for is available, including reducing the number of subforums. Everything you guys have asked for can be done by learning how to use the boards. That's why the new board is awesome. You have lots of options.

Everything you want is there if you learn how to use it. Faster loading, new posts view, fewer subforums! It's all there, this way everyone can set things up how they prefer instead of trying to please everyone. Poke around and learn.
