why are there so few categories?

there could be goodies or applications for example, so topics are easier to sift through

Re: forum

The categories have been the same for as long as I can remember.

Personally, I'm not a fan of too many categories. My experience has shown that posters are either unsure of or generally don't pick the correct category and invariably, the admins spend a lot of time moving threads around. And then there will always be a subset of posts that never fit the existing categories and so its a guessing game anyways.

If we can come up with and agree on a new set of categories, we ask the forum maintainer to make the change. But I think this in itself will be a challenge.
