How about whenever a post is made in another section, a 'link' to it appears in the main forum? What I mean by a link, is when someone creates a thread in say 'Q & A' that asks 'Where can I get such and such plugin for WP' or summat, it also INITIALLY appears in amongst the threads on the front page. Should you interact with it though, then you are interacting with it in its own forum.

I think the term is 'symlink' ? I haven't been in the back end of a forum for years, but hopefully you get what I mean. Its just a reference that takes you to the real thread thats located elsewhere...

In other words, a reply wouldn't bump it back to the top of the main forum, but it would bump it back to the top of the Q & A Forum... That way you'd get to see what was going on in the other forums without needing to visit them, and the main page would also be a bit more active with webmaster stuff?

People would probably love it or really hate it, but it's a thought...
