34 catagories is still much tooooooo long.

I'll tell you why.

I personally like to browse the topic discussion. But by having so many catagories it makes it almost impossible.

I look at it like if you were shopping for a new home, one two three four models is enough. So many more adds confusion and/or makes you forget where to look, or worse yet you don't bother.

I believe starting small and expand as membership requests. This place is like a family of four moving into a 32 room mansion. Close some doors until needed.
