Separate forums for A7/A7R/A7S Full Frame and NEX/A3000/A6000 Crop Frame

Thanks for doing that Jerry.
NEX posts dominate, as expected, given how long they've been around.
Somehow A7/A7r/A7s forum participants manage despite the NEX overload.

Give me an example of what specifically you were most recently looking for and could not find (given your posting history).

What I appreciate about this forum is how fine an example of a first-world problem the topic is.
I mean that with all sincerity.

If we get busy enough here - as is, the forum, albeit active, is not overly frequently visited.
Just watch the average time between posts - we are hovering around what, 20 post an hour, tops?
Split that and you get two quiet forums. Pretty boring by itself, and it will send people elsewhere.
You may not like the topics that you open up, but that time wasted clicking on the wrong posts keeps the ticker going and increase the web activity and value.
No, I see little benefit from splitting up the forum - unless our user group grows significantly

We could have several separate forums that way and there would be no need for anyone in one forum to ever speak to anyone from a different forum! Just think of the advantages. Think Segregation!If we get busy enough here - as is, the forum, albeit active, is not overly frequently visited.

Split would be:
14mp forum, then 16, 20, 24, and 36 with more to come!
Oh, what bliss!

The 'split' frequency (not likely to be a 50/50 split) will no doubt increase for both E and FE cameras when questions and picture posts are no longer snowed under by the rush of unrelated gear talk people aren't interested in reading about.Agreed.Just watch the average time between posts - we are hovering around what, 20 post an hour, tops?

At worst, the post traffic for each group will stay the same - how would that be so terrible? The only difference would be not taking as long to sort our what you're interested in, or require gear-specific filters that don't catch everything.

41 hours later, we have these totals:
NEX: 14947 = 6696+2770+2590+1138+535+459+252+216+159+132
Alpha E: 1648 = 1578+68+2
Alpha FE: 4640 = 2656+1904+80
Thus, the net results so far are
NEX +8 (mostly for the NEX-6)
Alpha E +19 (mostly for the alpha a6000)
Alpha FE + 23 (all three models increased as you might expect)
So the Alpha FE new posts account for 46%, so far. That's a good sign for Camley's concern about adequate liveliness of an FE forum.
We might wait a bit to see how this plays out with more data, but so far Alpha FE posts are perhaps surprisingly plentiful during this time with the Alpha a6000 being by far the "most popular camera" on DPR.

Alpha E: 1696 = 1625+69+2
Alpha FE: 4684 = 2679+1921+84
Thus, the net results so far are
NEX +29
Alpha E +67
Alpha FE +67
So the Alpha FE new posts account for 41%, so far. That's a good sign for Camley's concern about adequate liveliness of an FE forum.
