Default Re: tell me what you think of splitting \'a&e\' into a separate forum

The original split of OOT was dumb to begin with. The people who run this site have diluted it greatly by providing too many non-poker related forums (or is it fora) as is. The fact that OOT accounts for the vast majority of the traffic should not be something that Mason et al are happy about. As much as I like OOT and the politics forum I now rarely go to the poker related content.

It isn't a good thing when people start thinking of the twoplustwo as that politics site that I go to or whatever. Further splitting of other topics does much to dilute the twoplustwo brand.

2p2 isn't thought of as a politics site that you go to. It is a poker site. The reason OOT has the most traffic is simple:
(just examples, don't really know what other forums they love [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

MSNL players post in their forum, maybe theory, then.......OOT
Micro limit players post in their forum, and.......................OOT
Zoo people post in the ZOO, whatever limit, and...............OOT
NVG, WPT, FI, Politics, and SMP posters all also post in......OOT

See why OOT has so much traffic? It isn't the most popular forum, however, it has the most posters from all the different forums that drop by at the end of their browse.
