Haven't we heard this before? Didn't we just see how that ended? Leave a good thing alone.
The DM forums died for far more reasons than the breaking of the forum apart into multiple parts. In fact, I think this had very little to do with the death of that forum. I go to forums that are far more segmented than the DM forums ever were, and they're just fine.
If you're referring to the actual shutting down of DealMac, the perhaps you're right, but if you mean the events that precipitated the mass exodus to this forum (in fact the events to which these forums owe heir very existence), then I respectfully, but completely disagree.
As someone who was at DealMac from the beginning, it's my recollection that the division of its forum (singular) into multiple "topic-specific" forums (plural) was the singular thing that led to the forum at MacResource, and the mass migration of DealMac users to it.
I've not yet read all the other replies to the original post here (I had to reply to this one right away), but I can't even believe that the post was serious. It seems so ludicrous!
