Please don't think I'm criticising the mods! You have a heck of a task with the way this place has exploded population-wise.

But I do think the forum strucutre could be made clearer about what belongs where. In fact, greater clarity might take some of the strain off mods. I know some of that is under discussion in the Brainstorm forum - ways of adhusting the forum so that people know what goes where.

For example, when I was Very New, there was a thread in General titled "Iphone is for girls" and I countered with "n900 is for girls" (which actually proved a very useful thread that came up with the idea for the mirror app!) Now, however, we have a discussion about the dimensions of n900 under the title of 'n900 is for REAL men' which the poster clearly felt belonged in Off Topic as it was lighthearted.

Some things are obvious: a pie-throwing thread (or in this place more likely a pi-throwing thread) would be Off topic. But threads about Nokia seem homeless. So do 'general chat' type threads about n900, being neither hardware nor software. Perhaps the mods could get together in that secret forum of theirs and decide what belongs where, and then ask Reggie to change the forum descriptions to be as obvious as possible.
