I am happy to share some of the data collected which SanDiego1K referred to during her review of the USA Destination forums. As you can see, several parent forums (Mid-Atlantic, South, and Midwest) were not receiving very much traffic at all so it is hoped they will perk up as a result of combining these forums together with their constituent child (city) forums.
The USA destination forums are still relevantly quite corners of FT being finely diced geographically, especially when compared to the European and Asia forums which are generally carved into larger geographical or denser populated regions. So, I think we can see that a very gentle approach has been taken following the review.
