If you look into it people already use it for similar requests related not just to web design anyway. I don't see a need for a new forum/subforum to be honest. Remember that despite the fact that this forum might look active there are only a small number of active members, sadly. So if you start pulling the forums apart with new forums or subforums it still start to look empty and inactive even more quickly. That's not good.
That's a good point indeed, and the idea of re-branding the Web Design forum is a possible compromise for the Web Development topics. Although I would rather put them as a subforum in the 'Scripting & Programming' Forum where they semantically belong.

I'll be grateful if you could provide a more detailed suggestion, i.e. a revamp of Web development vs internet topics and how you think they should be listed to make more logical sense for you.
I've made the suggestion out of frustration really and it's not the first time that I felt something is missing around here :-).

As an anecdote. When I posted the 'Heads-Up: Firefox rolling DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)' thread, it was in the 'General' forum (because I didn't find an Internet or Web technologies section). @Dynamo then moved it to the Software forum. For me the central issue of the thread is the new standard (ie DoH), which happens to be implemented by Firefox in the OP; but for @Dynamo it was the browser (ie the software.) Granted that a software forum is better suited than a General forum... but it reveals the issue I'm facing. The same thing happened with my Going Dark 2.0 thread (posted in the General Forum.) In the absence of an Internet Technologies section, the General forum is (to me) the default for this kind of topics.

And indeed, there are a lot of threads scattered around various forums that should have required the creation of this section; from the top of my head, right now, the Crypto-currencies threads: that's a P2P Internet technology for example.

Anyway, I'm fine either way. I was just registering my thoughts in here. Hopefully, it will be backed by other like-minded folks.

Thanks! @deanhills
