Splitting forums?

[WayToGo]

BTP seems to grow more and more and everytime i visit the forum now i see 20 new hands posted and at least 20 threads with new replies. As we all have a different grasp of the game and play different stakes. I think this forum might need a split? in Midstakes (400NL+ ??) and Small Stakes?

Some posters are perfectly capable of analyzing 100NL hands but as the stakes get higher they start guessing more and are not really contributing anymore.

Myself for an example. I don't make as many if any high quality posts as others do, though i'm perfectly capable of helping people on 100NL.

As the stakes get higher my posts turn into crap at times, i really should not reply with nonsense: my opinion on the hand and what i would do. Asking questions to improve my own play is perfecly legit ofcourse, but i think at times i'm just gluttering the discussion going on between people like droqqa, donkifornication etc.

(mods if you don't think this is appropiate, and i should have pmed you this idea first. Feel free to remove incase)

I'm in favor of a split. I would still reply to the same posts as I usually would, but it just keeps things more organized.

We vote on/discuss this in the mods fourm from time to time - the almost unaminous
view last time was that (so long as posts in the main NL forum are clearly labelled with stakes/buy-in and handedness) it is better to keep all the posts in the one forum for reasons of community cohesiveness.

I was in originally in favour of a split (actually by handedness as well as by stakes) until we discussed it and I thought about it some more - since then I have been firmly in the no split camp...

We will keep it under review I guess ..

The only reason I see sense in splitting the forum at the moment is the bullshit search and filter method available here

Man i've browsed your old posts guys, and they aren't getting worse the older they get. But try to list all old 25$ NL posts, it's simply impossible to find them

if I search for
25
I get:
"No topics or posts met your search criteria"
Aside from that, it's not possible to search only by topic title.
So if this form would return results every thread containing 25 somewhere in the text (example xxx raises 0.25$) would be returned as well.

So if you want to do something good, perhaps look for a way to search the forum
