Suggested forum change

Although the forums are largely well-organized and it is easy to see where to post certain topics, there is one place where, to my mind, there is a bit of unnecessary confusion and overlap. Currently, the ''DirectX/OpenGL/Glide/Genesis3D'' is about 90% about 3D graphics programming, as would be expected... but there''s maybe 10% which is about the other parts of DirectX, ie. DirectSound, DirectMusic, etc. We all know that DirectX isn''t the 3D api, Direct3D is. And maybe people who aren''t interested in 3D graphics are ignoring the forum, and potentially missing posts by those who work with the other parts of DirectX. I, for one, would like to see the above forum renamed to ''Direct3D/OpenGL/Glide/Genesis3D'' to unambiguously indicate a 3D graphics forum. The other parts of DirectX could be dealt with in the ''General and Game Programming Discussion'', or indeed a new forum for the DirectX interfaces excluding Direct3D, if the demand was there. Comments, anyone?
