The proposal doesn't seem to be getting that much response, so I guess it shouldn't be #1 on the Talk Board's list. However, it certainly couldn't hurt to move the whole area further down the list so I don't have to run by it EVERY time I want to get to "Travel Buzz" which really IS pretty important.
Also, if forum explosion is given as a valid reason for not adding NEW forums, then it still seems reasonable to have a forum retirement policy.
Spiff, I'm betting you've written a C program or two!
