We should also think of this from a new user's perspective, where reorganizing things would make it easier and more intuitive for someone who is new to jump in and understand the right place to post career sim reports and stories versus other topics related to setting up and customizing a historical or fictional game, tweaking settings, troubleshooting issues, etc.

Also, from a usability standpoint, when you have a bunch of dynasty reports mixed in with the those other topics, and a user wants to use the search within the forum, it means a greater risk of search terms being mentioned in those unrelated dynasty posts, and you can end up having to sift through more results to find what you need.

You explained it better than I did. 100% agree with this. I know I've gone to the historical sim forum several times to look up how to do something or if X is possible and it's frustrating to sort through mix of results. New users are also probably discouraged from asking questions when the forum is dominated by story type threads.
