My two cents worth.
Only have one area for new posts. All new topics go there, (kinda like questions and observations now). Then have somebody on staff there move threads that have seen no activity in a preset space of time to topically segregrated pages. So there might be an area on clearing muddy water, another on stocking, another on fertilizing...
The primary page could have the banner ads. The secondary pages could have related banner ads.
For a small 6 figure salary I will relocate and be the web site organization specialist.
