On the other side, if I recall correctly, since I joined the JCF, I have started two threads (one had something to do with the game) in Technical Help and got replies to neither... Yes, I myself am uncertain what is better. I still reckon merging the forums without asking for opinions first to be wrong. I don't see why we can't have a poll to help with the decision.

The goal isn't so much to increase activity as well as to concentrate it. One forum with 10 posts per day is better than 10 forums with one post per day, I think. Given its recent track record I don't think the forum did much of its job of inviting people to post about technical problems either.

Well, obviously "rabbit forum" got filtered to "forum for philosophical discourse".
I think the best solution would be some sort of construct where Technical Help is a subforum of General Jazz Talk and its posts show up within the main forum, but not the other way around. vBulletin doesn't really support anything like that though. You could tag every thread with "technical help" but that's not a very elegant solution either.
