The mess comes from the decision to create an unique forum was created for various minor or uninteresting formats. But it's an organised mess : a cupboard was created to put in a unique place various small subjects that didn't require a dedicated forum for each of them. Now that MPC looks more and more than another minor thingie, it wouldn't add any mess to put it with the other - on the contrary ! The mess would only appear on page 10 of this unique forum, when MPC related subjects will become excessively dominant compared to all other threads. But who will notice it? Who's going to browse old pages by hand without using the search engine? Ten people? I would clearly sacrify them to what I consider as the most proper solution to clarify the forum's organisation and to keep at the same time all MPC subjects. Nobody would be annoyed: - people interested by MPC will still be able to post into the 'other formats' section - people interested to enlarge their knowledge about MPC history will still access to all archives - people interested by flac and/or wavpack will easily find all relevant topics into a dedicated forum - people interested by OptimFrog, Monkey, YALAC/TAK/ALAC... will have an easiest access to the relevant thread once all flac/wavpack threads will be posted outside - people won't see more forums than before despite the creation of new WavPack/FLAC ones. EDIT: an "archive" forum is not a bad idea, but what else would you put in it? If only MPC forums are archived, then it's back to square one with two "MPC" forums renamed as "ARCHIVE"
