I dont if it is technically possible or if it is interresting but here is my sugestion:

Why not have an "All forums" forum ?
It could contain all threads from all forums.
Between the "Topics" colum and the "replies" could be a "forum" column.

The advantage is visiting a single forum and see all new posts. It will enhance the trafic because people will see posts/comments in forums that they usually dont visit so often. My guess the number of posts in the gametalk and others will increase a lot.

People that want to visit the individuals forums will still do it. It will be an user decision.

edited: The user should not be able to post in the all fourms forum. When trying to do that he/she should be asked to choose one specific forum from a list.

I don't think the forum has that functionality in-built, but there is a 'View All Post Since Last Visit' link on the forum index that basically does this task. Dunno if you've noticed it or not.

Yes I have noticed, but it is not the same.

The all forums is a list of all threads not individual posts.
