Explaining why I, and maybe a number of others, have chosen not to vote. Since these things depend on a quantity of votes, it looks churlish to have not voted (though less churlish than to anti-vote, I suppose).
Some of us have not voted not because we don't care, but because ultimately this solution doesn't need to work for us - it has to work for the people who are feeling the pain.
The position you stated above is akin to not voting for gay rights or for religious freedom for a small sect, on the ground that you aren't, respectively, gay or a member of that sect. (I apologize to gays and other minorities of much greater significance and persecution than N8X0 users for this trivialization!) You can believe the state of things ought to be better for some other persons or group, and then lend your effort to make it so on their behalf. (In contrast, by your logic, how could men ever have voted for women's suffrage?)
So I think you should vote.

In a different light than what Gerald said... Kathy this affects all users. If a solution and a complete forum re-org takes place, this will also take place in the areas where the N900 software and applications are seen. (especially with the solutions 2-7ish, solution 1, and 8+ are more very specific solutions that may not affect all users.)
So the t.m.o you know now will have changed, and if it's to a solution that is less N900 friendly than the current setup than I see you being affected a great deal.
So.. even for entirely selfish reasons.. you should vote

Whats next Tex? Do we just let the brainstorm sit there for all eternity? Is there a magical number of "plus" votes we need to achieve? Whats kind of.. "the process".. type of thing.
The issue here is that Reggie is the conduit and likely responsible party for most of the desired action here and I see no response from him yet on the subject.

Sorry to chime in here late.
Another thing we can do is implement prefixes. vBulletin has a feature that lets you optionally (or required to) select a Prefix when creating a thread. This prefix will then be appended to the thread title with brackets.
While you cannot search by Prefix, you can however scroll down the page of a forum category, and specify a filter based on a specific Prefix.
We can use a prefixes like:
The system also supports different sets of prefixes per forum if needed.

If that's easy to implement, it might be a good start!

That's similar to Ubuntuforums.org and it works pretty well. Hmm.. it seems the best way to summon Reggie is to use his name in your post.
