But consider the users and how they will navigate. The jumpbox is obviously out.
no problem with jumpbox.
about how they navigate i give you an idea and tell me if it will work
so phpBB will contain one category under that category will have 500 sub-category every category will have 5 forums
so i will delete the index and get the users jump directly to 1 of the 500 category
when going to phpBB the index will have only one empty box, they enter a name of one of the categorys and when they hit go they go dirictly no need to navigate 500 category.
