What do you mean the fact that you personally are pushing this is irrelevant. Of course it's relevant. To imply otherwise is insulting to both FTers and your fellow TB members. If you were a regular FTer asking for this & it had approx 50% against the idea, both among regular FTers & TB members, it wouldn't be moving forward. The fact that you're a TB member & can try to push it through is entirely relevant.

BTW - you might want to re-read the guidelines about how TB considers new forums (and I post this for others that might not know). It is not the norm that forums are created with the intention of sunsetting them shortly thereafter (aka, a trial run). That equally applies to this idea. You know that if it goes through the odds of it getting shut down are slim to zip. TB has only shut 3 forums (and one was folded into a larger forum) in its entire 13 year history.

Cheers.
