regarding Forums page layout...

First of all, I'd like to mention that i like LQ a lot and i like the activity here...
I just wanted to know the reason behind the layout of Forums page...I mean to say that why are those forums explained so much right there ?
I want to say that the forums could be stacked side by side including only the name of the forum as they are on openSUSE and Ubuntu forums.I don't mean to compare these but this long layout of page gets a bit annoying sometimes especially when someone browse through his phone to post his question and has to scroll a bunch of forums and subforums.
Not only through phone but i get too lazy to scroll again and again !
Just a suggestion.I want to know what is real thought behind such setting of the Forums page
