Of course this is minor, but it's the combination of the little things that make places professional and successful. Do we have to have the OP on every thread?

Nope, but it helps to make a thread easier to read. This place is made up of hundreds and hundreds of tweaks that have been added over the years, and a minor decision like what subforums go at the top is just one of those.
