I second the idea. That or we need a separate forum for the pre-N900 NITs.
I think I will not be purchasing the N900, and, as an N800-user, this forum is becoming nearly useless for me.

great idea,
as time goes on, and people with n8x0 will end up posting why app wont work, even though it was designed for n900.
I also think it will be easier for prospective 900 purchasers

I click on threads in Applications and it's more often than not a thread about some N900 application - that I don't care about.
Either a structure like this or a whole new forum like you said.

Maybe do it like the Ubuntu forums do with the operating system version or distribution type (ubuntu, kubuntu, etc..)Where there's a drop down box where the topic creator chooses which one it is.
But, yeah Tintin's idea works well too. Even though I'm buying the n900 I'm still keeping my n800 and using it at home.

The forum needs to be 3-dimensional but that isn't easy...

Forum participation, sense of belonging to a community, exploring new threads and discovering topics/threads you didn't know of would be lost.
How could it be the best solution?

We've already been down this road before, silvermountain, and maybe you should search (I recommend the Google supersearch) out previous threads on this subject to see why I say that. Summing up hundreds of posts isn't easy...

The way it is now is making the forum less and less useful and to avoid solving the problem is not really a solution either.

Would the following make sense:
* Applications,
- maemo4, maemo5, maemo6
* Games,
- maemo4, maemo5, maemo6
etc....
If you clicked on the word Application you would get ALL of the application posts
If you clicked, say, maemo5, under Applications you would only get the application posts pertainng to maemo5
When postng a thread you'd simply make one more selection (OS).
I luv Google
