iPhone 3G | iPod touch Forums - View Single Post - Maybe consolodate some of the forum categories?

There are 39 seperate forum categories right now and I'm just wondering if anyone has thought about consolodating some of the less used ones that overlap a bit.

For example, the Iphone accessories, cases, and 3G cases could probably be all together without very much chaos.

I'm not sure if the Bluetooth and Wifi categories serve a purpose, most of the time when someone has bluetooth or wifi question they just post it in the general iphone category.

There 11 different software categories (including the ones near the bottom about PC, Mac, and itunes). I would think some of those could be combined.

Since now phone plans vary based on which iphone you have, many cell phone plan questions are being posted in the iphone or 3G iphone category, making the at&t and O2 sections somewhat useless.

Then there's all those apple hardware categories, which it doens't look like many people are using. Since this forum's focus isn't really on apple computers and those sections aren't being much used, why are they all needed?

Anyway, I'm sure not many people will agree with all of the htings I listed above, but I think many will agree that there are too many categories and they make it a little confusing to figure out where something should be posted, which increases the chances that it won't be posted in the correct place. So I think the forum should be simplified a tad.
