I view our job as stewards of FT as determining not whether but instead when and how to further segment FT into right-sized passionate communities based around a shared travel demographic or interest.

I felt this discussion worthy of a new thread and saw no point derailing the thread in which the quote was made but wanted to direct it to the OP and any other TB member who wished to reply.
While it wouldn't be the first ship that had sailed that I missed, is it official TB policy or only OP's opinion that further segmentation into right-sized communities of FT is necessary? What exactly is a right-sized community and how would it be measured or quantified? Is 6 posts per month right-sized? Could those 6 posts have been included elsewhere in a larger perhaps more multi-purpose forum? Once forums are created does it matter how much or how little traffic that forum generates? Is there a maximum number of forums TB members could imagine in a greater segmented FT?
I have shared some of my feelings on the subject on recent TB threads but wanted to set them aside to try and see the matter from other POV's and so would appreciate any input but am most curious to hear from TB members.
Thank you.
