My two cents.

I was always nagged to split forums and always resisted. But I was always on the fence if I should or not.

Part of it was how much work was involved. Buy they are willing to put in the work. And I'm amazed how much effort has been going into the forum.

Another was maintaining links from other sites, google search. I tried to always avoid moving stuff. But I think Duncs has a handle on that which is best in the long run.

I think it's up to the moderators and Duncs to decide what's right. If they wish to poll for opinions, it's their choice. There are lots of things to factor in from the moderating side of things.

That said these guys are smart and they will figure out what works and what doesn't. You won't know until you start trying stuff out and I think it's a good first pass.

I like Sooloos split out because I don't care much for that topic. And I like how Restaurant stuff was split out too. I, for the most part, read two forums, Meridian discussion and Meridian for sale (private owners). Now with less chatter of topics of less interest to me.

It may draw more folks in. I always watch the "Number Viewing" on the forums and it has gone steadily gone up since Duncs took over, so they are doing something right.

Wiki is awesome.
