I've seen this on another forum site, there were forums within forums. Could you add that feature? It would be helpful so forums like "Sonny 2" could all go under the flash games forum.

Definitely convenient, but it gets annoying for moderators to create a few subforums for every main forum they make. You have to add descriptions, and everything. Normally, you can just pop out a main forum with a description, which should only take a few minutes if informed well enough, but making and including more than one is slightly harder. Many inexperienced moderators do not even know how to do this.

The admins create stuff. The mods moderate stuff. Simple mistake everyone seems to make.
It would be hell to moderate all of those subforums, though. You'd lose track of where you've already checked, and you wouldn't be able to see the most recent post from the main community page.
My mistake Ernie. I have not moderated and administrated since July, 2008, so I have lost some of my knowledge on the order of these things.
A 'See New Posts' button would help, though, on a forum or subforum, as far a keeping track of things goes. On moderating all of the subforums, I have no solution.
Not a bad idea..but only for popular games (like a forum about Gemcraft)
Well obviously the Admins would create it, because if not there would be spam, so I'm just saying the Admins would know what to put.. Even though they will need to moderate more it sounds like a good idea.
