Also, what about pruning down some of the forums that nobody uses (like the specific Computer Hardware breakdown forums)? There are some of them that have not been posted to since 2006 or before.
I know kind of seems like we would be kind of abandoning the few users that post there, but then again people don't really seem to check there anyway (myself included) and it makes the site a little more cumbersome than it needs to be...potentially scaring off new members? Not only that, but you have to scroll all the way past these dormant links to get to the real nitty gritty.
