Clean up/structure the forum?

[MJU20]

The forum is a great place to find help, but it is a bit messy at this time.

Topics for V9 and V10 are aside, just as topics that regard different controllers.
Then there are specific questions about the different toolchains and for specific FC components.

There are "sticky" topics that are very handy, but... they are a bit in the way of recent topics.

Is it possible to organise the forum a bit more structured?

Thanks for the comments. We are aware it is not as neat as it could be, but it is difficult to get right. Many posters do not know (or worry about) where to post topics and it takes effort for us and VCs to move topics to the appropriate sub forums. And in the past we have created many different areas for posting but that causes its own problems - again, posters don't necessarily post in the 'correct' locations and the number of (sub)forums can itself become excessive and make it more difficult to find topics.

I rely on the search to find older topics that might help solve problems in new posts.

Regarding the sticky topics, what would you suggest? Should we make them non-sticky? Or perhaps we could create a read-only area for such posts and move any handy topics there. But then who decides what is handy or not?

We have discussed issues like this internally and with VCs many times and it is difficult to find an optimal solution that suits the requirements of every type of user.
