So it was worth the bother to create such a large forum covering every imaginable topic. As people used it, I began combining boards to reduce the number of them but to keep clearly defined topics for each so no one had to wade through topics that bored them to find ones that interested them.

Politics, religion, and cyber warfare had dedicated boards to keep those divisive things OUT of other boards. Lots of folks hate politics so it was only allowed on one board. Ditto Religion. Cyber warfare often ruined regular boards so creating the back alley where anything goes kept the other boards battle-free.

Plus, with such diverse boards and different mods for each one, all of the "web apps refugees" would have a home but COULD also intermingle if desired.

Now, it's not worth the bother to recreate it elsewhere. Not enough participation.
