Why Can't We Have Sub Forums of Sub Forums?

Just like the title says “Why Can’t We Have Sub Forums of Sub Forums?” I figured this would be an obvious standard feature of any forum software. This forum looked really promising but lacking a couple basic features such as You can only create one sub forum to a forum. 🙁 It is also missing a main category/parent forum page as discussed by other users and the Asgaros creator said he would consider it in some post I read a long time ago.

I have a bunch of vBulletin 4 websites that I was changing over to WordPress Asgaros  Forum but after coding a program to transfer the data over to Asgaros Forum I noticed right away during the process of creating all the forums I couldn’t add the sub forums of sub forums from vBulletin 4 and hit a road block and decided to suggest the added feature here.

 

Side note, I see this is open source and on GitHub, I never use GitHub but have a question, how does one add features to this forum plugin (to git hub)? Do I need to create fork or make changes and then request it to be uploaded to the main – no idea lol. But I was thinking of trying to add the feature I was suggesting, add sub forums to sub forums.

If you are reading this Asgaros creator I will try your forum again if you ever update the forum to be able to add sub forums to sub forums.

Thanks,

And

Great job on this project.

 

Hello everyone, This is an interesting question—why can’t we have sub-forums of sub-forums? While it seems like a practical idea for organizing discussions more granularly, it also introduces challenges. Too many sub-levels can fragment communities, making it harder for users to navigate or find relevant topics. Instead of enhancing the experience, it might overwhelm or confuse people with too many nested categories.

Having several levels of subforums may cause users to become confused when navigating geometry dash lite. The structure of forums gets more complicated as they get bigger, and users could have problems locating the information they need. Overly deep subforum nesting can overwhelm users, particularly those who are not accustomed with the layout.
