This still won’t clear visual mess that I have right now. Dunno… I like solution with second forum better for now, but I will have to figure out how to move categories between DBs.

I also have another idea for a “crutch” - use JS to reorder categories page and hide some categories under a collapsable div. But that means to rebake page each time it has been loaded, so I don’t like this aproach.
