Agreed, if this is not the case why have any forums, just one massive one? I feel it would be overwhelming, way too much information.

That is the key for me, "place with a very low traffic count". Why does the forum have low traffic count?
I believe that there has not been proactive education of the subgroups and moving of posts by FT staff, hence the complacency w/posting wherever one feels they wish to post.
Chexfan above has some neat ideas on condensing the Travel forum into more macro groups so the post count would be much higher, response rate much higher, etc.
The FT staff arranged the new Travel Forum to have subgroups, obviously done for a reason. A guess of mine would be that it is expected that FT’ers will use the subgroups.
