I have found it much easier to handle one Books forum than the two we used to have and would not enjoy having even more. It was always a bother to search which forum the thread I was looking for was on. I don't think combing through two or more forums makes the search easier. Clearly stated titles are what we need to find our way through more easily. Titles such as: "Can someone please help me", "What do you think?", or "I'm so confused" make navigation complicated and - well, confusing. Clear titles like: "Of Aragorn as Thorongil", "Coffee!", "Elves who don't speak Westron" or "The Light in Frodo's Face" make it plain what the topic is and let me know whether or not I'm interested in reading and posting.
