I realize that Tom's Hardware is not a hardware specific forum, but your website management should hire an intern or someone to add subtopic channeling to categories like Home Audio. Take a look at those site where I frequently post to.

These specific groupings make it much easier and faster for members to find and share essential and very specific details on hardware design, upgrading, customizing-indeed anything to do with audio. Audio sub topic categories also makes it easier for members looking to chat again with past members, who's contact info they may have lost. And here's something that your marketing director should have thought of long ago: Web forum category sub topics also makes it easier to use banner ads to target specific end user groups. Everyone wins, yes?
