My personal preference is to limit the number of forums to the current ones. I think the survival forum is perfectly named for a variety of issues ranging from equipment, supplies, tools, skills, training, etc. Individual threads can allow those individuals to focus in on specific topics of interest. I generally read all of the postings, if a particular thread is not holding my short attention span, I can just skip over that thread. I find that sites having numerous forums for specific topics more time consuming to navigate. Just my 2 cents. Pete
