Too many forums

The site has WAY too many forums. I don't have anything against organization and modularization, but there is an uncanny amount of forums and it seems like a lot of these could be merged. Since I don't like to offer criticism without offering suggestions for improvement, here are my thoughts:

Public (All can view, only registered forum members can post)

1. General Discussion
   
2. Off-Topic
   
3. Buying/Selling
   
4. Recruitment Info/Charter

Private (Only guild members can view and post)

1. General Discussion
   
2. Event Planning
   
3. Site Feedback
   
4. Tradeskills
   
5. Photos (Actually, a CMS would probably be better so you can maintain a front page with events / photos, etc. Then leave it off the forum. Just an idea.)
   

Admin (Only guild admin can view and post)
-whatever...

Anyway, those are just my suggestions and, of course, should only be viewed as such.

Thanks for your feedback.
