I'm happy to continue to consider forums on an ad hoc basis. I've said I'll have a look at some modelling/statistical techniques to see if they might be of any use - but I've not had a chance to do so yet, and am unlikely to get a chance over the next couple of weekends. However, I also have to remember that there may not be always someone with statistical training on TB - so anything which does look suitable must also be fairly simple to use and intuitive - which not all stats techniques are! As a result I don't know how possible a purely data based approach would be the right approach to take - and whether ultimately, even if something like that is developed, people would still vote their gut!

At the same time, on a point of correction, we are not talking about establishing a new Travel Photography forum, but effectively re-ordering it. Just as the rearrangement of the World Destinations forums did not create any new forums, but merely re-ordered them.
