57 separate boards on basschat? really?

As title. I appreciate that it's a busy site. Do conversation topics really have to be so vigorously compartmentalised though?

Another busy forum I use has a total of 8 subforums (on the broad church of football), including off topic, which is very much more efficient imo.

Any support for a rationalisation?

so which would you merge?

There's always a balance to strike between simplicity and accessibility. More sub forums means its easier for people to access the topic areas they're interested in. Also, most of those sub forums have been created by request of the membership. There will always be a minority of moaners for whom the sky isn't quite the right shade of pink and that's just the reality of forums.

The guitarchat ones are only temporary.

Nothing to add, but nice Hitch Hikers reference!
