digitalmars.D - The removal of inactive forum groups

Hi, all
It seems to me that a group of `Beta` should be removed, because 
the last activity in this group dated November 30, 2015:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/565BC28C.8080806 dawg.eu

Group `Study` is also not very active, so it would be logical to 
move it higher than it is situated now, or otherwise reorganize 
the forum. Of course, at the very bottom of the forum group is 
doomed to `extinction`.

Any thoughts?

I tried a reorganization a couple of months ago: https://forum.dlang.org/post/gkunyofqycjkgepjznyi forum.dlang.org It didn't work out, because there are there busy people involved: Walter for the NNTP server, Brad for the mailing list (IIRC) and CyberShadow for the forum interface.

Keeping things tidy matters more than it might seem because of the impression it makes on others. So I agree.

I also want to add that GDC's forum has turned into some kind of

We must somehow share it, for example, at GDC General and GDC 
Bugtracker.

Good thing that when people usually talk about compilers, it's about a bug they think they've found in it. ;-)
