BUG Forum Reorginaztion and Sub Topics Suggestion

Not sure if this is the right place... But heres my suggestion:

Reorginize the Bugs Forum Specifically into SUB Forum Groups..

SUB FORUM GROUPS FOR BUGS:

=============================================
Hardware
(Sub Groups : Processor / Video / Sound )
OS Type
(Sub groups : Win / XP / NT / Linux / Mac)
Tools
(Sub Groups : Each Tool )
Engine

=============================================

Several reasons for this..
1: Ease of locating any related prior reports
2: Ease of Not Duplicating Bug Reports
3: Ease of Developers seeing Current Known Bugs
4: Speed up of tracking down Bugs

This is only a sugesstion, If I had more time, I would offer to assist. I'm the only one working on my project, AND I have to work a regular job too, *ugh*.
This wouldn't be an easy task initially, but the long term benefits may make it worth the effort.

As with any Project in developemnt, Bugs are the biggest problem. Bug reporting is the major assistance developers need and making it much more organize would improve development process I think. Outside developers could then easily Add bug reports into the correct forum sub group when they find them.

I see that the rest of the Forum Groups are fairly well organized. The number of bug reports can make dealing with them hard if they are not organize in this fashion.
