I think we all agree that general is having to much traffic

please no OT! Only other category proposals.
Proposed categories:
- DMD
- DRuntime
- Phobos
- Language design (or Idea pool)
- D Foundation + resources
- Events
- Other (formerly known as General)
I want to stress that whatever categories we pick, we have to
adapt them anyways if we realize that something is noisy again
or too silent.

Without moderators to move mismatching topic between groups any
more fine grained separation will do more harm than good. NG in
its current form is simply not a good tool for focused
technical discussion and won't be. "Get rid of OT" idea sounds
like mockery to anyone who doesn't spend his entire lifetime
posting here because 90+% of NG posts are absolutely irrelevant.
To avoid confusion the proposal is to reduce the number of forums
from 14 (currently) to 7. So we are halfing the number and are
_not_ introducing more fine grained separation. Instead the idea
was rearange the forums to sth. like this:
New users:
- Learn / Help
Community:
- General
- Annouce (Official annoucements)
- Broadcast
Development:
- Core (Language and standard library development)
- GDC
- Third-party (Dub universe)
