We might just be discussing semantics here, but I do see taking a sub-forum and turning it into a forum, as establishing a new forum.
It is certainly unarguable that by establishing either the VX or the Travel Products Forum, TB would be establishing a new forum.
(Please do not take what I am discussing here as an argument for/against any of the proposed forums. I am mostly interested in knowing how the various TB members plan to proceed in view of Randy's post.
(Given the very different views on what is needed for a forum -- ranging from Spiff's very strict requirements to Cholula's "establish it and people will come" views -- I find it difficult to believe that TB will be able to agree on objective criteria.
(If, as I noted earlier, even four members are unwilling to approve a forum without such criteria, I can foresee a complete halt to the establishment of any forums at all.)
