Yea, what Jeroen said. And on top of that, I don't see a considerable amount of questions specifically about the Collections API anyway to warrent it's own forum.

PS: If moderators think that I have not followed Be Nice Rule then they may intimate me but as per my knowledge I am using the power of a public forum.

Collections stuff is part of the core API, so probably belongs in the beginners forum. I don't see what a seperate Collections forum would add. One of the purposes of seperating things out into forums is to avoid potential confusion when one technology includes terms and concepts that are very close to another. I don't think including Collections in the beginners forum is confusing - I can't think of anything else in the core API that they could be confused with.

There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

this statistic is meaninless without a little more data... over what time period were these questions posted? I think the 'Ranch was founded in '98, so theoretically, that means in the games forum, there is about one post every three days on this topic.
Now, i know the games forum is not nearly that old, but I think my point is still valid.

Yes. For some of them it might have been a "mistake" to create them in the first place.
In the past, for some forums we actually decided to close them again, but that's not easy because it means that all the existing posts in that forum are lost.
As a consequence, we have become more reluctant to introduce new forums without significant evidence that they would get enough traffic.
At least that's my personal view on the topic.

I could see this working either way.
Threads and Synchronization are a core part of the Java API, (maybe even more so than collections) and the forum for those issues is doing fine.
On the other hand, the Java In General (JIG) forums aren't being inundated with collections issues and the UBB search engine can easily locate any threads with 'HashMap' or 'ArrayList' in them.
I think, in light of the fact that it's not easy to merge one forum with another if something doesn't work out, that it's probably better to leave the collections discussions in the JIG forums for now.

In ranch [EDIT: ]I don't only post any question..That's not at all for my knowledge.
[EDIT]:
My concern was, If I am getting help from Ranch, there is not the only reason that, If i face any problem I just post the question here in Ranch and get the solution, I also take help in another means, by just visiting another forums for not any specific reasons but just to get know what is going on in that particular scetion.

JavaRanch is, indeed, much more than an answer mill for people with pressing needs. I've learned a lot (a real lot) here by both browsing and by using the UBB search tool.
