@gassim, I looked at your site and it seems that you haven’t yet implemented the third level of sub-categories, and I’ve been thinking to implement it on one of my sites as well.

Is there a reason you haven’t implemented them yet?

Basically, instead of maintaining multiple forums, I was thinking to combine them and some of the first-level categories would just be what I would have had on a separate forum. E.g., The Jim Kleiber Show (my podcast), emōkō (my martial art for emotional combat), and more.

I’m at the “Don’t build too many restaurants, otherwise they’ll all be dead and empty, better to have one restaurant with different mini-restaurants inside with common infrastructure powering them.”

I’m curious what you all think of this modified analogy and justification for three levels of categories.
