I overhauled the forums layout. There were too many nested sub-sub-sub forums, rarely used forums, and other unnecessary containers. So I'm in the process of untangling everything, and sorting it out to be more easily accessible. Almost all available forums are now visible from the front page, and the logic of the layout is much cleaner. It's still a work in progress that will span the next couple of days, but the major work is done. Take some time to explore and see for yourself.

Here's a list of merges and deletions:
• There are no longer container forums at the top of each section. The top forum of each section now has content. 
• The News forum was deleted. Offsite releases now go in the sub-forum Offsite in the Releases section.
• The Fawn was moved to Special Events, and the archived news to The Docks sub-forum in The Warehouse.
• The Characters Warehouse, Stages Warehouse, and Screenpacks Warehouse from Collections were combined with the Resources Warehouse to make The Warehouse.
• The Pokemon sub-forum was merged with its container forum Nintendo, due to lack of use.
• Mugen Discussion was renamed to Mugen Lounge which now contains the sub-forum called Video Sharing.
• The Video forum in Member Galleries was merged with Mugen Cinema to create the Video Sharing sub-forum in the Mugen Lounge.
• SNK Edits & Capcom Edits sub-forums were merged with their container forum Edits in what's now The Warehouse. 
• Resource Requests and Completed Requests were merged with Content Requests.
• The Lifebars and Hitsparks sub-forums and their container forum Screenpacks were all merged into the main Releases forum where chars and stages are.
• The Patches and Palettes sub-forums were merged into their container forum Edits which was renamed to Edits & Add-ons in the Releases section.
• Site Overview was merged into its container forum Introductions.
• The Screenpacks collections was renamed to Motifs.
• The Tutorial Library's main questions sub-forum was moved into P2P Help and renamed Mugen Coding.
• The Tutorial Library's sub-forums, Tutorials and Code Snippets remain in the Creation Lab under the original name Tutorial Library.
• A sub-forum named Site Related was created in P2P Help for questions regarding the workings of the forum itself.
• Ikemen Dojo was overhauled. The Forge was renamed to Releases, and the Ikemen Wips sub-forum was renamed to the Wip Forge.
• The Dojo's League sub-forum was hidden until and if it becomes useful.
• The Hangouts, Member Galleries and Travel Station were essentially merged to create the Communities forum.
• The Writing & Fanfic sub-forum was renamed to Roleplay & Fanfic due to the popularity of role playing.
• The Fawn may wake up from hibernation soon, but in a different form. We'll see how it goes.
• Character of the Month was renamed to X of the Y. If someone has a better idea please let me know.
• A Role Requesting sub-forum was created in Staff HQ. It will be updated soon.
• A new view is available for the front page. Click the blue buttons next to Start a Topic. The images are not final, and suggestions are welcome.

 
That's most of what I could get done today. Expect more changes over the next couple days as the reorganization / pre-spring cleaning process continues. Any suggestions anyone has to help make the layout cleaner and more focused are more than welcome. Hope you guys like it so far.
