I have a few suggestions:
1) Group the subject boards into particular groups (e.g: Mathematics & Sciences, LOTEs, Other)
2) Or, condense all the LOTE boards into one, so that LOTE: Chinese SL doesn't end up in Miscellaneous.
Option 2 sounds good because LOTE: Hebrew is pretty crap, but then it limits the organisation and extent of free discussion within a particular LOTE group. I like the idea of grouping subject boards. LOTE, History and IT could be subject groups. You could also have Commerce (BM, Accounting, Economics), then just group the rest in Other, or you might have Humanities, and scrap the "History" group and chuck them all in there.
Haha! And if we're going down the BoS road of grouping subjects (but better), we might as well create a "Love & Relationships" thread in the non-VCE section for trolls to populate. :2funny: just kidding!

like the 1st idea not so much the second. unlike your chems, bios, methods, specs and etc, lote subjects aren't big enough I feel to make it worthwhile to have an entire LOTE section dedicated to it
-
Yeah, I don't like option 2. Option 2 is only a quick-fix if we're not going down the groups idea, because that way we can have less threads to scroll down through. In the LOTE group, they've got to open up more LOTE boards though :)
Oh, yeah there should be an English group, of course!

like the child-board for "tutoring" when u got advertising and wanted?
that'll work well me thinks
english, mathematics, arts, humanities, science, LOTE ?

Nah, I don't mean the child-boards, but you could possibly do that for some smaller groups, like IT maybe. I meant how we have those boxes that say "Administration," "General VCE," "Subjects," etc.

oooh, right
i was just saying that because I have to scroll down a gazillion mile before i can reach the bottom, and the convenient features down there are just not convenient enough!
i'm suggesting:
English: {mainstream, ESL, Lit, Language}
Maths: {Further, Methods, Spec, Uni}
Science & IT: {Chem, Phys, Bio, Psych, IT Apps, IT Soft Dev}
Bus: {Bus Man, Accounting, Economics}
Humanities: {Legal, Int'l Politics, History rev, History ren., all other stuff i missed}
LOTE: {all LOTE}
Other: {media, theatre, arts, philosophy, etc}
my 2cents
then each parent-board can have mods that know their field, as opposed to each subjects which can cause *disagreements*
EDIT: missed subjects

Hint: press the [End] button on your keyboard to get to the bottom instantly for all the "convenient features down there."
English probably warrants a child board system, with child boards for ESL, Literature and English Language. I say this because it seems redundant having a box called "English," and then putting an English board in it. You could just throw the board (with child boards) into the Humanities box.
Groups:
Maths: Further Maths, Methods, Specialist Maths, UMEP (non-specific, or have child boards for UoM and Monash)
Science: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Psychology (I don't want enwiabe's bias against Bio and Psych please, LOL)
Commerce: BM, Accounting, Economics
Arts & Humanities: Legal, Int. Studies, History, Politics, LOTE (with child boards, maybe), everything else
There are only a few tweaks I would make to my system:
1) group Maths & Science together
2) throw Commerce into Arts & Humanities
3) create LOTEs own group
I'd say options 1&2 are compatible, while option 3 would be best used for the system with more groups (Commerce, Maths & Science separate, etc.)

They're called categories :)
And indeed, that'd be really useful. If you're not doing any LOTE subjects, just use the little (http://freestudynotes.com/VCEforum/Themes/default/images/collapse.gif) button to hide the whole LOTE category :D
-
Tis a good idea, I always seem to miss a subject when I go through to check if anyone has posted in the ones I do.

We could arrange subjects per VCAA-defined KLAs: http://vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/klas.html
