Actually, I would love to see one "higher level" forum - so to speak.
It would display the most recent post regardless of which forum and display it on a single page. That way if there is an interesting or lively conversation happening in say, the bowyer's bench forum - you can weigh in or just watch it without seeking it out.
A great example is, every so often the Dangerous Game forum has some excellent threads but I often forget to go look. Equally so that forum goes quiet at times, hence I find it less useful to look.
Another thread that I should check more is the sponsors thread...but I again, out-of-sight-out-of-mind and I miss good/great deals.
And doing it this way or similar, it doesn't preclude someone from just hanging out in only one if those threads. Best of both worlds IMO.
And I will continue to wish we could post pictures directly, but that isn't the point of this thread. Just trying to keep that fire going...
