Perhaps when adding a t206 section (which I totally agree with!), this can also be taken into consideration.

Great job running this great site as always, my friend!

Thanks for the kind words Jimi. Besides the few polls we have taken to get members thoughts, the main and overriding thing I like at to make the decision to subdivide, is the activity and number of threads in each area. That is what I have looked at from day 1 and is the main thing I take into account. There is no way any other area gets enough activity to be split up, imo, besides the T cards. When I look down the page of each of those BST areas I look for the date on each thread. When I went to the T card section today there were only 2 new days represented from all of the threads. When I look at any other section there are at least 5 days represented (as when a thread was last posted in). I really don't want to make another section because there are so many but I make make an exception for the T206s. I don't see other areas I can do away with as they all get activity. The subdivisions of each area, while not perfect for every instance, are fairly representative of the way we collect. There has been quite a bit of thought given to our BST areas because they are so active. They are the most active part of the board. It's sort of funny when you look back 10 yrs ago and we had A thread on the front page for ALL BST transactions. We could always go back to that >
