There are way too many useless new thread, and they are all almost the same but with different names, and at different places, for example:

Arena Discussion > 2v2 > hpriest + rogue give me tactics!?!?
Ask a Gladiator > General Questions > [2v2] discpirest +rogue, what to do?
Ask a Gladiator > Matchups, Comps, and Strats > rogue and priest in 2v2 having some trouble

Something like this, ofc these topics dont exists, but there is a lot of similar to these. First I Found this forum useful, I came here for some advice, and browsing the forum to read some interesting stuff and give advices if needed, but now there is way too many useless topic and useless advices, the forum is starting to act like WoW forums. There is way too many sub-forums too, like Ask a Gladiator and Arena Discussion should be merged, beacause ppl asking the same questions in those. One new sticky thread somewhere should be nice, about "which partner do i choose?" because there is a lot of topic about :

Sl/SL Lock / SL/SL Lock / ???
3v3 - Warrior or Rogue?
3v3 : RestoSham needs help choosing partners.
3v3- Druid or Priest
Shadow or Disc Priest?
Lock+Hunter+?

I would agree with the too many forums thing. There are a ton atm and I'm not sure what's the point in posting in some of them seeing as some other ones do the same thing. Arena Discussion is for Gladiators and Ask a Gladiator is for people without the rating. Problem is a lot of the time the 2 things kind of get jumbled, but I would agree more attention needs to be paid to old posts.

I hate that there are too many forums as well, and I am open to suggestions.

1) Ask a Gladiator and Arena Discussion are separated for a reason. Like Lift mentioned, people with ratings vs those without.
2) "Focus on Strategy" could probably be removed and merged with its appropriate place at this point.
3) "Ask a Gladiator" was broken up so people could search for questions easier and know where to post them. It was actually requested by quite a few people that it should be broken up.
4) Just like we have common builds and macros, we want to do the same with class makeups and the like so that a lot of simple common questions don't even need to be asked anymore.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated and we will do what we can. Thanks for the feedback!

I also don't like that there are so many new forums, but I don't agree with the OP about there being too many threads.

I personally detest when forums force people to keep topics to a single thread because it always ends up with a thread 500 pages long that nobody wants to read through because you have 90 people carrying on simultaneous conversations. At least when there are multiple threads I can pick and choose which ones to bother with based on number of replies or if the poster can craft a coherent title.
