i know it isnt probably feasable, but now that you have all these great forums it is more likely that a thread that fits in one may fit in another. like a red hat thread could also fir in one of the traditional threads like software. it would be so neat to go to the forum you want like software and also see the relative threads from the distro forums and vice versa, go to the mandrake forum and see all the threads that are concerning mandrake not just the ones posted in the mandrake forum.
not sure on the mechanics of it but maybe need a sort of second subject line with a drop down choice of the distro in question with a default setting for your regular distro so you wouldnt have to choose every time. that way you could use that to group it in the right distro forum whenever someone went to it and also you could have another dropdown for software, hardware etc selection. i suppose in the end you could just have these type questions set up and they would result in the thread 'seemingly' being in all the right forums without the person just picking a forum from the list to put their question in.
