Do you like the changes? Are you able to find what you are looking for faster and more efficiently now? Are you happier now than before?
If the answer to the questions above is "yes", I guess this is a good change.
The assumption is that, as a happier user, you'll be more likely to return to the site, spend your quality time on the site and consume more content, consume more pages and interact w/ other users.
Make sense? Hope so, let me know what you think.
Why are you asking, if you don't mind sharing?
What's your take on this? What impact would you be expecting? Do you think I'd be loosing ad revenues through this change? Or making more? How so?
I have checked total # of threads and # of posts, they are solid, though it is early to tell. I'd be waiting a week or 2 and then run a more granular analysis.
Thank you.

I don't come here looking for a specific forum or topic. Sometimes I'm the original poster but most times I come to see what's new and participate in an interesting topic. But now most topics are hidden in new layers.
By making it more efficient for the user, I suspect that the amount of page views will decrease. This will lead to less ad impressions. Less ad impressions will lead to less clicks. Less clicks will lead to less revenue.
My suggestion would be to eliminate the airline sub forums if you see a decline in page views or revenue.
