There has been mention of the many topic forums on the site. A suggestion, which won't really reduce the overall numbers, somewhat the other, but would make browsing relevance more efficient:
Many of the topic forums are relative to more than one other topic forum. For example, Aircraft Wanted is applicable to the individual FS/CFS forums. If the individual FS/CFS topic forums were revamped to sub-forum these, although it would add in each of the FS/CFS topic forums, the opening forums page would be much less cluttered and a bit simpler to figure out where to go for specific questions/answers for the particular subject one's looking for. This is also true for many of the non-FS topics.
