And btw searching for "Mer" in titles gives 10 results. Not very scientific but should give an idea. So perhaps it's not worth to start with a Mer subforum either.

And promote subforums only when it's clear that a topic has enough traffic to deserve it. This is how forums use to grow organically.
Good point. I like numbers. Mer wasn't really a topic on January 1st. If you look at the last month only, Mer might warrant a sub-forum (or not).

Also, I suspect that the largest number of updated threads are in the "General" forum, but that many of them should properly be in one of the other forums. I think putting it first invites this.

I would suggest getting rid of the miscellaneous folder entirely, moving competitors to devices, moving Buy & Sell and Off-Topic to Talk folder, and put Comment/Suggest someplace unigue where it clearly conveys that it is meant for comments/suggestions relating to the forum or maemo.org.
