Order of forum sections suggestion + my thoughts on AC

[Scincidae]

New to the forums but one thing that struck me as odd (and a bit non-user-friendly) is that the top of the forum's main page is all the sections for different phones before the general android sections. Usually forums have the general chat at the top and the more specific sections lower on the page due to the general sections being more sought after(which I personally think works best).

Also most users will probably only visit 1-3 phone specific sections so having them set up as they are now seems a little cluttered. I really like how Android Forums has their phone specific forum sections smaller and in a list rather than adding so much text to the page that most users will pass over.

All that aside, I really am liking Android Central more so than phandroid/androidforums, androidcommunity and the others that are popular. Android Central may be a little smaller but the mods and Phil seem much more friendly and interactive. I think a graphical update (nice look but seems more early 2000s as far as logo/gradients) might also help grab more users attention when sifting through the plethora of Android websites out there.

Anyway, keep up the good work Phil and company. Even if my suggestions aren't adopted I still like AC best so far.
