i voted to return them to the index page. True, it may be overwhelming for a newbie but its an annoyance to everyone else(or is to me at least). especially those with slow internets. Im not really fond of clicking one thing to actually get to the off-topic forums and then choosing from there. the same goes for the team forums. I'd have to go to two/three separate pages to browse around here (the main, the off-topic, the teams). it feels like im taking more turns on the road than i should have to

BUT i guess you could call me lazy/impatient. well...thats just my two cents, but if you want to keep it that way, then i guess i'm fine with it. It doesnt bother me THAT much
