Too many categories?

[redhairjon]

I often find searching out information or generally browsing a bit frustrating due to the number of sub categories in the forum.

I propose simplifying the number down to a handful. Singletrackworld forum (a popular mountain bike forum) only has four?

Why? search function works well if looking for older posts & for browsing use "new posts" or "recent posts"
