I understand and agree on that. To avoid misunderstandings we should
at least distinguish between 'Forums', 'Wiki' and the main site where
no prefix is necessary

It is not really necessary to change the forum structure. Most forums
offer a configuration option to define which elements should be part
of the page title. Maybe newbb does not but this should be patchable.
