Threads fly through there and buried really fast. Maybe some sub boards would help?

I'd suggest

Shodowrun
-Rules questions and discussion
-Character creation help
-Polls

Subtopics were used for several years. In the end they were {generally} hated and users had problems finding content.

Sub boards suck!

Awww come on Fortune tell us what you really think

I do like the idea of having a seperate place for
character creation help / critique my character / look at what I can do / I'm a twink..

Sometimes there's just too many of them, and I really have to be in a bored mood to even look at them.

Perhaps:
Rules / Information
Real World
Character / Campaign Specific
