I enjoy the diversity of the forum as it is.

I can't say that I'm a boat, plane or space 'anorak' (sorry, I couldn't think of another way of putting it; not meant in a derogatory way!) so I'm not sure that I'd visit all of the individual sub-forums. I like just flicking through and picking up snippets of info on here to be honest.

"Enthusiast" might be a less derogatory word smile

70 want separation so far.
Like I said previously,a majority that post here are posting about planes,so just over 30 % isnt bad in opinion.

I'd also bung "Space" in there as well. paperbag

Seems a shame that some interesting posts just get lost in the lounge.
And Space.
And Engineering
And Scientific Stuff

You could always just call it "Erics Forum"?

This section is starting to liven up with boat threads it seems.

Boats
Rails
Engineering
Aviation
Space
Technology

A quite suitable acronym I think.

I think splitting out the forums even more will only lead to dead sub-forums.

Leave it as it is and just re-name the forum into something more appropriate that covers the engineering and space bits that we all like to post about.

I think the fat is chewed. How about closing the thread and doing what the poll says?
