As Jay has mentioned in a thread above, I have also noticed a *sizeable* drop on the main PB of post that 'older' PB'ers could contribute to, but no longer seem to be doing.
Therefore, I agree with Jay in his belief that we are taking away from newer people who may get less support because of this new setup (i.e., the creation of the new boards).
I would like to ask you to consider doing what Jay has suggested - to calculate some numbers on who is in the 2000/2001 groups, and what they are providing to the main PB vs. pre-2000/2001 groups.
I would also ask that you consider his sugestion to also look at the number of replies vs. requests for help, as well as length of threads on PB before the new boards versus after the new boards.
I think Jay has a VERY valid point. There appears to be some *negative* impact on what was your original *baby* - the PB board, by the creation of the new boards.
I will echo Jay in saying that I also know you don't mean it to be this way, but the numbers and impact/level of support on the original PB shouldn't be ignored.
Thank you.
