I for one really like it the way it is now. All the boards that were not of any use individually combined to a masterboard which makes everything a lot better functionality wise. Take the community project boards. There was maybe... one post a month. Now that they are combined, the look is more sleek, and because of them all being in one place, people that come for one thing, see another, make a post, and revive topics. These revived topics revive the projects and so on.
Questions and Hacks, Mods and Code have always should have been the same thing in my opinion. Questions get asked in Hacks, Mods and Code all the time, and it was only natural for them to be joined.
News never got much use at all, and people posted news in Everything Else as well, so the condensation was good. Forum welcome center was also a bad idea in my opinion. All that was there, and all that was really needed was an introduction thread.
As for the show matters, The Lan party, Contests, and Polls boards were not utilized at all. The only topics would ever come from Darren. Contests were not used. Polls had one monthly topic, and the Lan Part only hat alot of older topics from big parties of previous episodes. This combined with Suggestions brings more content to all areas.
As for the regrouping of where certain board are, Pandora and USB hacks should definitely be with the show. Thats where they spawned from, thats where you will get information from them. #Hak5 also requires separation from the rest of the community projects. Its not run by Hak5 itself, its its own entity.
