Organizing a VERY small vBulletin forum

[mdevour]

I am creating a forum community that's only going to have six topic areas.

I want it to look something like this:

On Topic Stuff...

• Beginners
• General
• Technical
• Related stuff

Off Topic Stuff...

• Chit Chat
• Debate

What I want is for this to be a perfectly flat forum structure. I do NOT want "On Topic Stuff..." or "Off Topic Stuff..." to be parent forums, but only plain titles to label and set off the two casual groupings of topics.

Yes, I'm trying to vastly simplify the structure of my forum. My members will appreciate it!

I want to code this myself as much as I can, for the practice, but can you experienced coders give me some clues as to different ways I can approach it?

If you want to chase me back to vBcom or point me to a mod that already does this, that'd be okay, too.

Thank you,

Mike D.
