4-5 ongoing AARs, the most active of which still update only once a day or so, is "a lot"? Maybe it is, I wasn't on the Org during previous TW titles....
The way I see it, the forum community here is pretty small. Substantive content is correspondingly modest. The recent up-trend in AARs helps to add a bit more traffic on a forum that, frankly, could use some more activity. Now a proposal to shunt this newly developing content into a separate sub-forum? What exactly then is left here?
I just don't see the value - yet - in a separate sub-forum. The "critical mass" of traffic here in the main forum hasn't been reached; not even close. If we had 10-12 AARs going, or had triple the number of daily new non-AAR topic starts, it would be different. Maybe (hopefully) in the not-so-distant future we'll get to that point.
Don't get me wrong: I like the idea of a separate sub-forum for AARs. Likewise, one for guides. I sincerely hope traffic and content develop to a level where these are needed.
