I like the idea of re-organising, BUT:

I don't think that makes sense at all. :? These are the most active sub-forums, and your proposed layout would hide all of them from the front page.
(Unless the display of sub-sub-forums was totally revised).

Other things:
  • You have three nested forums titled "Transport Tycoon". Four if you count the actual title of the forums themselves! :roll:
  • What's "General Transport Tycoon" actually for? Almost everything currently in it belongs in one of the game-specific subforums, this would be my #1 choice for removal.
I'd definitely flatten that top category, so you have:
  • OpenTTD
    - Unchanged
  • Graphics Development (I'd drop the 'TT', it's obvious).
    - Unchanged
  • Screenshots, Scenarios and Savegames
    - Unchanged
  • Other Transport Tycoon
    - Transport Tycoon (2013)
    - Transport Tycoon (Original and Deluxe)
    - TTDPatch
  • Locomotion
    - As proposed
  • Other Projects and Games
    - As proposed
So, compared to the present organisation:
  • Drop "Transport Tycoon" from 'Transport Tycoon Graphics Development'.
  • Merge the 'TTDPatch' and 'Transport Tycoon' sections into "Other Transport Tycoon", combine some of the subforums as you proposed, but also ditch 'General Transport Tycoon'.
  • Squash 'Transport Empire' into 'Other Projects and Games' as you proposed.
