Based on the most helpful WSO content, there have been discussions about starting specific forums or subcategories for niche topics. For example, in a thread about creating a Corporate Banking forum, a suggestion was made to introduce flairs to posts instead of creating separate forums for every vertical in finance. This would allow users to filter content by specific topics like Corporate Banking, Restructuring (RX), or Debt Capital Markets (DCM) within broader forums like Investment Banking.

If you're looking to start a forum or push for a specific category, it might be worth proposing the idea to the WSO moderators or community. Engaging in discussions and gathering support from other users could help move the process forward.
