I know where you're heading Christian, and that's also on my wish list.
The problem here though is that within a thread, subjects tend to change - most posts about Late Roman helmets are in a thread about the changes in the 3rd century.
Similarly, a lot of discussion that belongs to history/archaeology is done in the marketplace and reenactment/reconstruction sections.
So how to keep threads to the point. In my experience, that's nearly impossible, it would be seen as far to restrictive. There's in fact no way to stop this from happening.
In my opinion therefore, we don't need smaller sections, we need a better seacrh engine that is more capable to keep the results down to a minimum of hits.
