Ok. It seems I was not very clear on the first poll, and as a result the votes are unreliable. So - I apologize for asking everyone to vote again, but I just need to clear some things up.
What I'm talking about doing is removing JUST the "All Things Root" shortcut links on the forum home page - androidforums.com. (as shown in figure one)
Figure One:
The actual "All Things Root" sub-forums (as shown in figure 2) in various device areas will stay. All the quick links do are provide a quicker way to get there from the home page. However, if one utilizes the favorite forums column (also shown in figure 2) - they will have all the shortcuts from the homepage they want, right at the top.
Figure 2:
Now, as you can see up in figure 1, I suppose there are a couple options. Remove the entire "All Things Root" section (which is what I planned on doing), or optionally, just keep the actual device links from showing under it - and make is so you click into it to see the list of phones. (It functions this way now, click the All Things Root heading, you'll see.) This seems pointless to me as at that point you can just click into your device in the phone section, but that's just me. This idea is represented in figure three.
Figure 3:
This is an issue because when we complete the subforums debate - what we decide to do standard for phone forums will be done for all current devices and all new devices. One thing is known.. All Things Root will become a sub-forum for all devices by default.
So, as new phones come out, not only will they add length to the main page by adding a new device in the phone section, but they would also add length to the main page by adding a new device in the "All Things Root" quicklinks area.
I find this area no longer needed, extra upkeep, and the "favorite forums" feature to be a suitable replacement should one want one-click access to their rooting subforum. Therefore.. I really hope everyone goes for complete removal.. but have decided to solicit opinions.
I hope this helps clear things up. If unsure, ask before voting.
Thanks all!

) as I think that root sub-forums should be represented in that main menu, but not each device individually linked right there because of the huge clutter/space issue in that menu.
