Exactly.
Those who remember when there were airport forums know that there were many forums that had virtually no traffic (FAT, e.g.)
And which airports do you want to there to be separate forums for? Should FT have forums for all airports that the FAA classifies (in its four categories) as Large-, Medium-, Small-, or Non-Hubs? Only airports with commercial service? (and what happens when that service ceases? Delete the forum? What happens if service starts up again? New forum? Undelete the old? PRC, for example, for years has bounced between carriers and sometimes had no service). If only airlines with "commercial" service, do you count just those airports with Part 121 operations, or do you include Part 135 ones too?
This is solution seeking a problem, imo.
