Or we can hire more mods that specialize in categorizing forums. The more forums that are moved, the more active the other categories become (less useless).
Remove all useless forum categories

Categorizing is better than putting everything in a couple of topics
Categories become "useless" because users create threads about puzzles (for example) in General Chess Discussion instead of More Puzzles category
• Game Analysis - this is sooo inactive and General Chess Discussion can hold this. (It already holds a lot of game analysis)
• Game Showcase - same case as game analysis
• Chess Openings - General Chess Discussion holds these already
• Endgame Study - most inactive forum category. General Chess Discussion can hold these
• More Puzzles - General Chess Discussion holds these already
• Live Chess - most useless, same as Game Analysis and Game Showcase.
• ChessTV - Chess.com community or/and General Chess Discussion can hold these.
• Chess Players - General Chess Discussion holds these.
• Fun With Chess - almost the same as General Chess Discussion
• Chess Books&Equipment - General Chess Discussion can hold this.
• Chess News - General Chess Discussion can hold this
• Chess Variants - General Chess Discussion can hold this
• Local Events - Chess.com Community can hold this
I think these all can be removed to avoid confusion. Have a good day,
