You know that you can just ignore Boards you are not intersted in:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile --> Ignore Boards Preferences
You wont even see them in "Show unread posts since last visit.". I "Ignore all Languages I don't speak.
If you Ignore Newbies & Off-Topic as well your experience should get a lot better.
I think if we build up more sub boards this could work even better. For example a sub board for every "bigger" Alt Currency, so I could Ignore the ones I'm not interested in.
Guys, Newbies are not always newbies with BTC, sometimes they can be just new in the forum :-)
If they aren't newbies to BTC when they enter the forums they might want to lurk moar on the forums before they fall for things like the link in your signature...
