Thank you for your thoughtful approach to improving the forum structure! Creating sub-forums for more focused discussions is a great idea, and I believe it will truly help both new and long-time members navigate topics more efficiently. It’s clear that the team is dedicated to enhancing the user experience while preserving the valuable content built over time. I'm especially glad to see that you're open to fine-tuning things based on real usage — that flexibility is important.
While The Coffee House had a certain charm with its open, off-topic nature, I agree that having more organized sections will make information more accessible and searchable for everyone. I’m sure many of us will appreciate the clarity and direction this change brings.
Thanks again for your continued efforts, and please count me in for any feedback or suggestions you need going forward.
