We’re thinking about merging this section, what do you think?

Hi all,
We’re doing some work on making the Talk boards more useful and user-friendly for both regular and new users. After looking at some stats for the site, we think we could boost activity on the whole by merging some of the lesser used sections.

We’re proposing to fold the topics in this section into the Volunteering and charitable giving area.

This should increase the number of topics in the section - and hopefully lead to more posts and responses to members.

It's not a matter of merging - I think the site's problem is that some of the forums are poorly named and poorly divided, and it's especially perturbing that some major topics are treated off-handedly. To me, "Human Rights" shouldn't be part of "Volunteering" - it should be a part of a major forum for "Politics" or "Legal Issues."
