Unless this proposed forum is exceedingly carefully defined to cover anything that is not currently covered in either the mentioned venues or TS/S, this will simply be one more opportunity (like with the creation of the budget airlines forums) for information to become more scattered, diffused, duplicated, and harder to find.
Indeed.
Even if this proposed forum is carefully defined, there is still risk that this will not improve things for FTers in the main. I'm rather skeptical too about creating new forums to "fix" something for FTers when it seems like FTers in the main are already served pretty well on these topics in the parts of FT that are natural destinations for FTers communicating about these issues.
