There have *always* been two threads -- the original discussion thread and the "Comments Welcome" thread. Megathreading is not desirable, nor is closing off discussion in the original thread.

When dealing with a destination that is often paired with other nearby destinations and creating a separate forum would hurt, rather than help, the quality of discussion and the number of eyeballs seeing the discussion (such as in the recently-discussed idea of breaking apart some of the states in the West forum), then no.

This is the 80th post in this thread. How does that equate to megathreading???
I can get more posts than that by starting a thread spamming Cholula Hot Sauce.
(In fact, I once did and there were 5544 posts in it before it was shut down.)

Rather than discussing moderation issues, which is neither productive nor permitted, please use the PM system or the 
Alert a moderator to this post button to deal with posting / thread issues.
I will consult with my moderator colleague when he is available and see if we can follow through with a reasonable thread split if some semblance of order can be restored, or continue with the thread as is; I do not want to second guess anyone. In the meantime, please continue posting about putative Perú Forum and TB's voting on it in this thread.
Thank you, JDiver, Moderator

Let's not get too far off-topic on this. I just plain screwed up merging them. 
A couple of FT'ers asked via RBP and PM that it occur, and in a rush between business deadlines I did not fully think it through.
Tradition is to keep the proposal and voting threads separately. This remains the practice, IMO. Unfortunately I can't unravel my mistake.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Now back to our regularly scheduled debate....
P.S. I personally consider my one visit to Peru (particularly Cusco) one of the travel highlights of my life

but why have two threads running simultaneously in the first place?Why not simply close the proposal thread closed with a title change like this (if the proposal actually makes it to a motion, that is)
Proposal: Create a Hockey* forum (now closed see discussion thread)

Because not everyone likes hockey 
Anyway, let's get back to discussing the merits of the Peru forum rather than get sidetracked with merging of threads.
I appreciate moderator2 getting back to us so quickly. BTW - at this point given the vote closes within 24 hours, let's just leave everything alone re: changing the threads again.
Cheers.

Create a Peru Forum will pass...
In accordance with the recently changed guidelines that means we'll announce if a motion has passed or failed once enough yes or no votes have been recorded by TB members, this is the public notice that this motion will pass as it has secured 6 yes votes.
Please note that not all TB members have voted yet, and so a final announcement with who voted yes/no will not be posted until all 9 have voted or the voting period ends.

Thanks, all, for your patience - there's always an explanation, and it's usually he simplest one (Occam's Razor comes into play,) not the one preceded by black helicopters.
Now it looks like I (and you!) will have a dedicated Forum to discuss Lake Titicaca and Taquile, Juliaca and Sillustani, Ollantaytambo and the Sacred Valley, Moray, Cusco, Tambo Machay, Tambopata, Paracas, Nazca, etc.
