Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

Thing is, FRNL is still well behind forums like SSNL and uNL in terms of volume.

While we don't have accurate numbers as far as the popularity of the forums, just looking at the numbers viewing forums at any moment (from the main index) gives us a good idea of the relative sizes.

While FRNL holds its own against other strat forums, it's still easily the smallest of the NLHE forums.

If everyone's clamoring for a split I'm not dead set against it. But I think we're just going to wind up with two small, fragmented forums. When uNL was spun off from SSNL the need was obvious. SSNL was bursting at the seams. This just isn't the case. And immediately after the split, both SSNL and uNL were bigger than FRNL is now.

There were 40 new threads started in FRNL on Friday. If you have your preferences set to show the maximum number of threads per page, that won't even fill half a page.

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

There were 67 threads started in SSNL on Friday.

There were 88 threads started in uNL on Friday.

There were 40 threads started in FRNL on Friday.

SSNL is probably more than 50% bigger than FRNL and uNL is likely at least double the size.

A better question might be whether uNL should be split...

I propose a takeover of HSNL.

Of the few hands actually posted there, most of them are live full ring hands anyway. =p

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

this was discussed as nauseum a little while back. i'm too lazy to look it up and link it.

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

I support a split forum.

I hate how the 6 max guys get 4 forums, and we are just ghetto full ring. I think the reason about volume isnt really that great, we have enough dedicated posters where i dont see that being a problem.

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

Previously I thought a split would have been a good idea, now that Im here a while I'm totally against the idea.

I play microstakes and its not exactly hard to ignore the posts that dont concern micro players.
As long as posters
(A) State the relevant level when posting a hand.
(B) Dont clog threads above their "level" with unqualified advice.
In general I feel that FR posters are fairly good at both of these.

I dont think this needs to be discussed until the volume of posts gets to a stage where its hard to keep up.
Certainly not at this stage yet.

Finally I like this forum as it is. In general most in here are very friendly, its a nice community and a well run forum.
If it aint broke....

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

I would ideally like a FR forum without microstakes, but I don't think we have enough posters yet to support that.

If there is a split I'd suggest taking the MSNL FR to include with the SSNL FR (maybe .50/1nl to 5/10nl?).

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

if it ends up happening the split will be micro as one and everything up as the other.

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

No. There is no reason to split as far as I can tell. Certainly no reason in terms of post volume- I can easilly check the forum once or twice a day and read the first two pages and see all the posts.

Re: Do you guys want a split between micros and low/mid stakes?
 

I vote split as i am too lazy to scroll through all the micro posts.
