+1. The split could have been avoided if the FCPS people had any kind of manners, but they didn’t so the split had to happen to make the forum useable to non-FCPS posters.

It was unusable in the old format.

Exactly. They would come on to every thread, proclaim how things were and argue.

We are APS and I asked Jeff at least twice to break out both FCPS and APS into separate forums. If you're in the outer edges of the DCUM target audience (Loudoun, Prince William) the answer is to increase posting and discussions specific to your district. If there isn't much specific to your region it's because there aren't many of your neighbors using this forum.

The first 10+ topics are about APS.

Great. I was not in favor of splitting FCPS off.

Then start some more threads about other districts! Easy remedy.

And yet the person who has the most data about traffic in this forum and how people use it thought otherwise.

The decision to split Nova wasn't made because of traffic. It was made purely by request -- and was very split.

It was pretty close to unanimous the last time the question was asked. But figures FCPS is throwing a tantrum anyway.
