vBulletin 3.5 Plug-in Catagory: SubForums?

[drumforum]

Should we be expecting subforums, just like the 3.0.X full release catagory, in the VB 3.5 Plug in forum anytime soon?

[Andreas]

No. In fact we will most likely re-merge the existing 3.0 subforums into one.
But that's not fully decided yet, as Xenon is on holiday and Marco still needs a bit of work on the Hack Database

Ok cool, I was just wondering.

Thanks alot for the info

What's the point in re-merging?

[Tony G]

Possibly to lessen the ridiculous amount of forums we have.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

For a few reasons:
- Too much forums giving confusion, both when posting and when looking for a hack
- With the new Hack Database we don't need so many forums, since all the categorizing will be done in a searchable database.

Actually I think it's more confusing without the subforums. I have a very hard time finding what I need for 3.5 because I don't know whether it's a plug-in or other.

Use search engine?

EDIT: Actually, some of the hacks are impossible to find using the search engine (thanks to nonsense titles that some people post)... so removing subforums ain't such a great idea.

I was going to mention that the search feature really does not help much.
