Anyone wanting to see Games or Geeks or the like can make a couple extra clicks from the Arrowhead link. If that extra mouse click is too heavy a burden, perhaps someone can post a “How to Bookmark a Web Page” tutorial in the Geeks Forum.

Taking the minimalist approach.

Those subforums have proven to be incredibly convenient, IMO. Not only does it save a mouseclick, but you can see the latest activity in that forum without clicking into it. I think that's important.

Phobia, I like my idea. Move everything off and have it display in the Arrowhead listing or whatever you call it. You can still tell what the latest post in those forums just like you can now.

Damn I'm smart.

I think that some sub-forums could be grouped into other sub-subforums, but I have to agree that 4 be the limit if not less. Even one that perhaps says "All other Planet forums" (then list them)
I also have issue with the Planet Store from a business standpoint because it looks like a chat room. If it were me, the Planet Store would be flashy and attracking, totaly different from the rest and it would be on top or in front as it were.

Just some feedback on this... I used to agree... But I got rid of the subforums up there (mostly due to addint a google banner ad) and it turns out that they still get used every day... People just browse the forum list and select where they want to go.
