Shrink the forum top page?

With the prospect of a Politics and a SDMB Market forum each being opened (theoretically?), it seems like this should be part and parcel of getting more forum titles to appear without having to scroll down. The Chicago forums are almost certainly losing interest simply because you have to scroll to get to them.

Overall, I’d recommend merging the two Comments forums into one and shrinking the top and bottom padding in the cells that contain the forum links.

I think merging the comments boards would be a great idea. Plenty of times a noobie comes along and posts in the wrong one anyway, so it would save the mods the trouble of moving them. Then they’d have more time to shine their jackbooks. :wink:
