Forum needs to be tidied up.

[RioLindoAz]

I joined this forum a while ago with high hopes that it would be a great community where questions can be asked then answered immediately. So far it has been... kinda. Too many sections are crammed with unnecessary topics, and also with too little topics. Not really enough for a smooth- forum/informational experience. I feel like the forum administrators did not do enough research to fulfill our needs and then left the forum stagnant and neglected.

Here's my idea of what the forum should look like. It's purpose is to help the Admins make their decision if they choose to tidy up a bit.

-Change "Cows" to "Cattle"
-Please do your research and see what topics would be more appropriate for a section.
-Please consider getting rid of a few sections leaving only a few. You guys know how a forum with this many sections can make someone's head spin. Leave the main ones.
-I just want to let everyone know that this isn't a protest. I just wanted to suggest some well needed ideas to the Mods and Admins. I really appreciate you guys for making this forum!

Thanks.
