What happened to the AdSense forum? I don't see it listed in the forum menu today.

The new location of this forum is sure to make posts here die out. It's not exactly in a spot most would look.

I wouldn't put it in with the search engines so that only leaves "Marketing" or "Webmaster". I'd personally go with "Webmaster" because webmasters are going to be the ones using it so I think it is in the right topic.

The way I see it is we have currently 4 main cats:
- The Search Engine World. Self-explanatory.
- The Marketing World. Marketing sites in regards to SEs, not focused on one SE.
- Webmaster World. How to build, maintain, monitor and sustain a site.
- Local. Self-explanatory.

Now Adsense clearly is not about SEs. It's a program driven by Google, but Google acts as an ad broker, not as a search engine.
Adsense is about how to sustain a site, same as the Advertizing Sales forum.
So in the existing scheme Webmaster World is the most logical category IMO.

I was a bit surprized to see it there but it does make sense to me after I thought about it. Does this mean we might soon see other advertising type forums in there as well?
