Sorry if I missed anyone

In my opinion would be much easier for us (especially for new users) find information and help each other.
Please let me know what do you think about that,

maintaining such a granularity is a major pita and offers little extra. i'm against.

[topfs2]

Also against, some grouping might be nice but its a bit too much there I think

[castortray]

in my post I just want to show how many different tools we have now, in one section. My proposal is not to move only mentioned posts to proposed subforums but all related posts to correct subforums.
just look how many users create new posts with question for exmaple which xbmc managers they should use

thanks for your opinion

[castortray]

can you check also statistic for XBMC Remote for Android Official Forum subforum ?
I think most users do not even know that is exists

XBMC Media Managers
XBMC Remotes
XBMC Automation
XBMC Web Interfaces

this is really such a granularity ? it's just 4 new subforums

[mothi]

that would be great idea! even thread prefixes like in other subforums would really help to clarify these threads

[bencorn]

What if you just made this post a sticky, this helps separate everything for those who want it grouped and doesn't segment the main thread.

if this post will be "sticky", someone will have to constantly update it, so thats why I propose subforums,

thank you for your comments, it's nice to have an outside opinion

4 extra ain't too bad, i read your list as one forum per tool.

[topfs2]

[castortray]

cheers

[stolek5]

wow

gr8 idea !!! I even did not know that we have so many XBMC managers and remotes, thx

+ 1 for subforums

The forum titled "XBMC Automation" might not be a good idea, considering what those tools are used for automating...

The renamer type tools could be categorized under the media manager category as well.

Sickbeard and the like are awesome, awesome tools, but a section of the forum that is "how to do you know what, and would you like some help?"--

Not so sure.
