This is possibly the least surprising post in this thread.I don't have a problem with the split. I am not interested in reading tons of BS, which frankly the OT forum was mostly composed of, so having a separate forum for more serious topics is a good idea. At the same time, having another forum for a less serious discussions (with greater freedom from intrusive moderation) is also good.
I don't really think it is that hard to open two tabs for two forums and follow bothThe nonsense about "OT community" just makes me smile.
