I personally prefer the rather simple vBulletin-style forum that is in place now - also, I think a re-org of the forums mentioned is a rather urgent need and not something that should be lumped into some 3.0-revam-everything-effort. A few changes to the current structure is, as you have seen from the poll replies, needed - now and not later. Such efforts may or may not be throw-aways when/if such a major revamp comes around but it does not make the imminent need any less important. The current structure has gone on for too long and its flaws are becoming more and more evident.
