Any Reason For This Forum To Be Nested?

Why is this forum inside another forum? As far as I can see, there really is no reason for this. They way it is now is this:
Natural Selection -> Natural Selection Discussion -> Public Beta Forum -> Public Beta Discussion

There are only two threads in the Public Beta Forum. All that needs to be done is merge those into the Public Beta Discussion forum and get rid of the Public Beta Forum. It's not a big deal, but it could save the site a few megs of downloaded bandwidth a month, and a couple seconds of everyone's time. I don't know much about how difficult it is to change the forum, but it shouldn't take very long.

    That's too practical, it'll never happen. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    It's probably because there's another private forum in here.

    It's a throw back to how the Beta Discussion Forums were originally organized. Its just easier to leave it in this structure since: it works, and in case there is ever a need to have two tiers of discussion again (one where new topics can only be started by specific people, and another where new topics can be started by everyone).

    If there need to be new topics created by other people, then they can sticky them momentarily. If they only need to be up temporarily, well, i've noticed that threads made by Zunni and Nemesis Zero always have a lot of bumps.

    Forum regs usually go right over stickies, not even noticing. It took me 3 weeks to realize the "NS Bot Alternative" on top of Gen. Discussion.
