I would like to add to this by asking why no topics in the job specific forums ever get any recognition.

Do you (SE Forum reps) realise why there are so many job-specific topics in the general forum? Maybe if you took the time to visit the job specific forums and actually made it look like you read them, then people would post their job specific issues there. As it is, no one has any reason at all to believe any of those job specific forums are actually even read by you.
