that looks like a considerable improvement. Here is what I would do differently:

1) I would move the Help section up (under General) and the Discussion section last.
I agree that putting the Help forums in General is a good idea.

2) Furthermore, instead of repeating "Celestia" all the time in the forum headers, I would e.g.
write:
  • Celestia Development
    • Bugs
    • Ideas & News
    • TechTalk

Agree again, though maybe some title other than 'Tech Talk'? (Not that the current 'Developer Talk' isn't any better)

  • Celestia Content
    • Add-ons
    • Textures
    • Scripting
    • Utilities

  • Good. I'd also suggest a forum for announcements about new content. Currently, it's rather tough to sort these out from the talk of content development.

    3) Finally, "Purgatory" deserves a better name, given it's often interesting (non-Celestia-related) content.

    Definitely agree here. The name started out as a bit of a joke, but it's time to assign a more appropriate name for this forum.
