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

db,

A&E would be a popular forum, I'm sure. However, for the reasons I've explained a few times, there's a very big chance it would result in a substantial decrease in total 2+2 non-poker traffic.

Note that every time there's a split (Politics, Sports, etc), a good chunk of people who used to be involved in those discussions are no longer involved in them. The same would happen for A&E.

I do see your point, and I have to say your arguments have been thorough and well-presented, and seem to be based on solid experience, not some pulled-out-of-the-air crap.

I do see this as different from those though. I understand those fora split off cos they inundated OOT at various times - this split is more to give posts about A&E a bit of breathing space to encourage discussion etc, to my mind, and provide a location to poeple that just wouldn't come to OOT some place to talk on these things.

I remain unconvinced by your arguments as you remain unconvinced by mine. But I know you'll keep pressing yours, and I'll keep pressing mine, and that's cool.
