Looks good to me.
The only wishy washy one I think is entertainment, because the various venues themselves encompass both central and middle moscow. The Hole is in the poor, mostly residential part; Almaz I don’t even know where that is lol, but it feeds into the underground and is supposed to be an elite secret so probably isn't central; Devil’s Lair is an old subway station entrance that again leads into the tunnels. One of Jaxen’s new companion clubs is attached to Radiance, so would be in the business district. Another is in the industrial river area, another in the enlightenment district, one in the RLD, and one central. Manifesto and Nebesa’s Gate are also probably pretty central.
To a lesser degree the same probably applies to residences imo. Do you have one ‘residences’ board that encompasses all Moscow (and lump them all together because generally speaking a thread in a residence is a closed thread by default rather than design, or at least very limited as to who can just drop in, but rarely labelled as ‘closed’), or work out where exactly a character lives and just post to the relevant district, with a note in the title of the specific location.
I do like the idea of dividing by central, middle, suburbs, and undercity though. Mostly because I'm not a fan of maps but those headings help organise things in my mind more than just having thematic boards. But I also like that the “nightlife” board is purely thematic. Anything posted on that board you automatically know is taking place in a public place, doesn't matter where it is.
A middle ground might be that the central and middle moscow headings just both have their own entertainment and private residences boards each (or residences and hospitality like Nox said), and then the rest of the boards continuing under the other thematic headings as Asc listed.
I don’t think 3 trinities needs a separate board or sub board – using the “camps” one in your example would be fine I think. It’s essentially just a beat up church in a poor area, which is located near an undercity tunnel entrance. It’d probably be the only thing on the camps board anyway.
I would argue that it’s still worth considering sub boards for factions with significant story/plot potential. Not that we are inundated with newbies, but it would give a starting point for anybody who wanted to create an associated character, and give an easy and obvious place to start a thread or browse previous threads to get a feel for things without being overwhelmed. Places like Atharim HQ (though admittedly it’s not overly active right now), the Sanctuary, the Garden (being as it's essentially our baby Black Tower... though that might be the only real thing on the military board anyway). But that's less about organisation than potential accessibility.
And a final thing, however you decide to organise it, we can add a note about which board to post on + a link on each location's wiki pages.
