Too many sub-forums!

This is just my opinion. I don't expect anyone else to agree.

I think this site has too many sub-forums for the average amount of active users. I joined yesterday and have posted ten times and I still haven't actually conversed with anyone. I know that's not exactly catastrophic, but the other three animal forums I frequent are atleast 3x more active, and they aren't even remotely popular (I bet most people here never would have heard of them) Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer less-active forums to the ones where your post gets lost in three seconds, but the purpose of a forum is to communicate with people, and this site sort of reminds me of the tooth fairy in a way... I leave a message in the morning and sit and stare at it forever and I don't see a reply until I wake up the next day. I just think that reducing the number of sub-forums could reduce this effect. I also think that several of the sub-forums could be merged with eachother, meaning a higher concentration of active users in each category. Many of them have the same basic threads posted anyway. It's also a little confusing to scroll and scroll and scroll around so many sub-forums, and it makes the site look rather untidy.

I'm positive that, being a newcomer, I'll likely get bombarded with outrage, but on the off-chance that I don't.... Well.... I'd actually be amazed if one person agreed with me. Atleast I voiced my opinion!
