The split is okay, but this layout is simultaneously more cluttered while giving less information. The only information that ever updates from the main forums page now is the active topics boxes. No wonder some people are perceiving less posting happening when all the forums below that are now simply static placeholder links and you can’t tell that anything new is happening behind them. If the split must stay, please try adding topics/last poster/etc to those rows. If that is too cluttered, why not split rp/nrp vertically instead of horizontally?
