As communicated in my SNEAK PREVIEW: Significant Changes to the BusinessObjects Community Forums post, significant changes to the BusinessObjects Community forums have been made. These changes bring our forums closer in line with the way the rest of the SAP Solutions are presented, and align with the rest of the site.
Our previous 4 forum categories have now become 3:

In addition the SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management was moved from the SAP NetWeaver Category to the new Enterprise Information Management Forum Category.
Please note that watch settings should not be affected, except for the /community [original link is broken] and that point categories have stayed the same.
two years ago we changed back to SAP NetWeaver BW to avoid the confusion with SAP BusinessObjects (which plays in the BI field). See also here: Important Name Change for Netweaver BI
This recent re-org is just catching up with this change.
Regarding consolidations, I don't fully understand why we would need a cross-product forum. Maybe you can start a thread in the "Suggestions" forum: SCN Support
