I think just a "coral" forum would be great.

Agreed! Separating "Reef" from "Corals" would be wonderful.

Not sure how much use a new forum would get.....there are a lot of people like me who never go to the forums and just stay on the "active threads" page

well, really by definition, what is a reef tank?......a tank with corals in it , no?......if we are gonna do separate forums for each type of coral, then we might as well get rid of the "reef" forum all together.....

That's just silly. I mean, it's all "aquarium keeping", so why don't we get rid of all the forums and just have "aquarium forum". "Reef" is the whole she-bang...dosing, corals, fish, live rock, lighting, etc. There are lots of coral specific questions getting asked all the time.

On the other hand, I don't know why anyone would be "against" making a separate forum. In the end, even if it rarely got used, what's the big deal? Doesn't really matter much. Although I think it would get used plenty.

That, and what benefit does it offer? Most people look at new posts, and then it doesn't matter what forum exists or not. I hardly even notice what forum I'm reading most of the time.

That would be great! I mean the traffic would be awesome. RC has so many sub forums because they have sooooo many posts in a day that most people want to be able to sort through the threads they are interested in, and skip the ones they aren't. It would be nice to do the same here.

My thoughts exactly. In a day the Active Threads generally don't exceed 3 pages and close to half of those are buy/sell related.
