I like the new site and the work you guys are putting into everything. Thanks for that. One complaint, though... the new forum/subforum titles are a mess. I always make a point to post in the most appropriate forum and that's now quite a bit harder. I can just imagine you're going to get a lot of posts in the wrong places now.
I don't know if VBForums (I think that's what you're using, right?) has the ability to do multiple levels of sub-forums, but here's what I would suggest. Instead of making a forum for each flavor of XBMC ("XBMC for Linux - Developers Only Forum", "XBMC for Gameboy - Developers Only Forum", etc), how about making "Developers Only Forum" with subforums for each platform? This way people could post in the general "Developers Only Forum" if they need to, or they can post in the specific platform's forum. Same for the End-Users forums.
Another thing that is unrelated to the recent changes, is the Skin Development forum. Perhaps there should be a "Skins" forum under the End-User area where skin creators can post their mockups and releases. That would free up the "Skin Development" forum for questions from the skin creators to the XBMC devs.
Anyway, just trying to help a bit, since it seems a little confusing now (and I'm normally not easily confused... ask anyone except my wife).
edit: 300 posts! Hurray! :/
