I realize a forum like this needs subdivisions of subject matter. I just think as it stands there are too many subdivisions.

There needs to be fewer and they need to be more general. I don't think subforums for different areas of the world are necessary, for example. Simply having a subforum for discussion of situations existing in the LC churches today. By doing this, the reader can go from reading about a situation in the GLA to one about South America without any trouble.

Another subforum that seems unnecessary is the sister only one. It just isn't used. Better simply to have a subforum for personal fellowship for everyone.

I might subdivide as follows.

Introduction and Personal Accounts (the term "testimony" is LC-speak)

History

LSM

Situations in Churches and Regions

Doctrines and Theology

The "Cult" Question

Fellowship, Encouragement, Worship, Prayer

Off Duty (fun, hobbies, politics)

This isn't necessarily the best arrangement by any means. But I do think there needs to be some consolidation. It gets to the point that too many subforums make things harder rather than easier to find, especially since may threads cross lines anyway.

Just my two cents.
