I just cannot keep up with the HAMB these days. I do not want to miss anything useful or interesting to me, but I do not want to spend a couple hours a day just reading all the titles of all the new posts.
Adding those suffix categories was a great idea, but most people (including me when I'm in a hurry) don't do it when starting a new thread.

*How about making it so that a new thread CANNOT be posted until a category has been selected?*

Right now the default is no suffix. Eliminate that feature and every single thread will be categorized. Then maybe I can actually get some work done every day!
p.s. If this turns out to be unpopular, maybe you could allow choosing two categories for one thread, like "technical" AND "customs."

Yeah, not a bad idea.

It would certainly make my employers happy - my productivity would go up quite a bit!
It's always effective to make people opt out of something rather than having to choose to opt into it.
