VG, there are still a number of forums that can easily be merged, including the programming forum.

Yes, "tagging" was my initial idea, but unfortunately, in my experience, it does not work on forums - people are too lazy to mark threads appropriately. I will look for a special hack that would force users to specify the sub-category when creating a thread - and that would tag the thread next to its "title" (similar to Gmail labels), if at all possible.
