Ktulu, however, made the interesting point that when one tries to search something in that forum that you get a bunch of simulation threads.

You also say,



Here I think you're over-estimating how most users use the boards as well. If you have an answer to a question, I think most people are either going to do a search (using google or doing a site-wide search here or going to a specific board first) or they're going to go straight to some board here (general or not) and just post. I don't think many people at all are going to a board and then skimming down the titles to see if they see a thread that may answer their question. I just don't see that. So it doesn't matter if they're "buried". EDIT for clarification: Buried down a page, no. Buried among search results, yes.

Me personally, I actually very rarely use the board structure. I usually just use the New Posts link above or Google search.

I don't know. I see a lot of frustration and, frankly, I don't understand much of it. If the main complaint was "the forum titles/descriptions are confusing, please clarify them", okay, I totally get that. If the complaint was, "how the forums are divided aren't as effective to getting help as they should be", I'd understand that too. But what I seem to be hearing from some instead is, "I want to post where I want to post, regardless of the intent of the current board structure or what may be best." Or maybe even, "I'm a historical-only player, keep those filthy fictionals away from me". And that makes me just want to walk away, dust off my hands, and say, "okay, good luck with that".

LOL, once again as usual you hear what you want to hear. You are so wrong. I knew once I saw you were involved in the discussion we were probably doomed. As said earlier life goes on.

Never once seen you in the historical simulations forums. But, hey you know wjhat's best. Going to wear my baseball hat backwards all day in your honor. Peace out.
