I like the current board names. Psycho Psycho in particular makes me laugh. Do two psychos make a sane person or just a square psycho? A quick run through the boards shows that most people aren't confused. Even so, I'd like to throw out my own ideas about some simple (I think) steps that might make the boards clearer. Please forgive the presumption but I find playing with someones design after they've done all the work is almost irresistable.
1. For people reading posts.
Add a line right under the "[ Thread | Post follow-up ...." options above the posts saying this is the "X" board about "xxxxxxx". To see a list of other boards click here" and bring up a list with descriptions in a new window.
2. For people posting.
At the confirm posts stage put a line saying "this post is going to X which is for discussion of xxxxxx. You can redirect it to another board using the revise post option. For a list of the other boards ....." Perhaps stick this right above the confirm post button so it would be hard to miss.
