<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1190432, member: 19463&quot;]Do the math.&nbsp; Count over the last week and see how many threads pertained to each proposed sub group.&nbsp; Also count the number of threads that cross over between two.&nbsp; This is my greatest objection to the split.&nbsp; I, for example, do not collect British coins as such but I do collect some coins that are British.&nbsp; I collect old coins to include ancients and medievals.&nbsp; My newest UK coins of interest are Tudor/Stuart hammered and I am equally interested in Russian, French, German, Asian and other hand made issues up to about the 17th century.&nbsp; If you split off a UK section that has 95% discussion of 20-21st century coins, I will miss out on the discussions that would be of interest.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I participate in more than one coin forum but find it a fact that the more often I visit to find no posts, the longer it will be before I visit again.&nbsp; Coin Talk rarely has a day where someone does not post something in the Ancient/World. Numismatic Society and Coin People are groups that go for days with no posts in the World/Ancient sections.&nbsp; If you are bothered by posts on subjects you don&#039;t collect, you must be prepared to support your new sub-sections with enough meaningful traffic that people will want to check it frequently.&nbsp; Perhaps there are other UK only venues that will be a better fit to your needs but the current one on Coin Talk seems to be not all that busy including everything in one group.&nbsp; I fail to see how this would improve by splitting it into a half dozen specialities that might get posts every few weeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
