I got sick of the mess. I like it better this way. I'm tired of scrolling 10 boards that get 1 thread a month each. Stuff got consolidated. There are lots of changes besides just realignment.
I'd like to make all the frontend tech boards into a single forum as well but it would probably upset some people. That would be the cherry on the cake of perfection though imho. I'd rather have 1 board worth checking every day than 10 that I check once every 3 months.
