I don't know if this would be a benefit to anyone else, but I was wondering how many people would like a shorter URL for a forum they can give out to non-boards people e.g. http://boards.ie/motors would go to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47 Would be particularly handy for our hosted forum, but don't…

The folder system you said would definitely help the navigation, but I am talking more about just an entrance to the site.
I would like to be able to give out a URL like http://boards.ie/Charlesland, as it would be easy to remember, whereas http://boards.ie/hosted/public/charlesland wouldn't. But, like I said earlier, I think this is probably an isolated case.
