    A bit of a different type of contest I'd say, but it's definitely in need of entries. I'm basically looking for a good category tree structure that meets certain needs for a certain type of website; instead of copying off the competition.

    The site is a social network based off the use of groups (think Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, etc) as community clusters, in a sense. The idea is to simplify the experience and mainstream the grouping idea through details I don't feel is relevant for this contest :p

    Basically what I'm looking for is a list of categories (and sub categories) that would be used for sorting groups. There's isn't a big amount of competition to base off of, so it was hard to find good examples of the following:
    • Simple, small main list
    • Helps users understand if a a specific category is within one of the parents by just the parent's name as reference (baiting/flow)
    • Easy category names, not overly lengthy (lots of "and"/"&")

    With that said, I'd want a category list that...
    • Simple names and small upfront lists
    • Names represent easy understanding of underlying groups and sub categories.
    • Less multi-combine of a category (using "and")
    • Not too simple or vague to where it limits exposure/sorting of all types of groups.
    • Prefered to only have a two level tree (parent category list with an optional one child list), but it's more important to cover all types of groups (so it's not required).

    You're free to use other established category lists AS REFERENCES/INSPIRATION but being this is a contest in search for a somewhat unique category hierarchy tree, I ask that you keep your submissions as unique as possible.

    I'm looking for the best lists that creates a easy to follow/understandable flow to all types of groups, while being simple and user friendly. Keep that in mind and question it to your submission and you might have the best
