To facilitate the use and moderating of the boards, some restructuring (read moving and *re*moving - and even a bit of adding!) has been done. It is our hope that this modification will help discussions to find their way to a folder which is appropriate in both scope and topic and which will be read by staff who are involved with that particular subject. We expect to unveil the new boards on or about August 5.
The largest and most obvious change will be the disappearance of the Discussions with Simutronics category, which has been broken up and distributed over the remaining categories. You will see that some of the folders have been deleted, as they were little-used and were covered under other existing topics. Others have been moved to a different category, while still others have been folded together into one, more encompassing topic or received a new (and hopefully more descriptive of content) name.
If you have a favorite post in a folder which will be closed, please take time over the next several days to make a copy of it for your files. For those of you who like to know in advance what's happening, the new categories and the folders they contain are listed below.
