My vote is to keep things as they are--one forum.

Sure, I don't like wasting time seeing the same question about 'C' compilers every week, or the students dumping their projects onto the board. But, I think most of us would watch all the forums anyway and having multiple forums makes will waste more time reading the posts that have been duplicated on multiple forums.

Also, I like having by web browser (Opera) start up in the 8052 forum. If more than one forum is made, I will be less likely to take the time to look through the alternate lists--even though the specific topic is of interest.
