The forums are too fractured as it is with everybody wanting their own topic splinter...the result ends up being 5 fora with no discussion because the interested people are spread too thin. I've long been a proponent of identifying and consolidating fora. We went through this with feminist forums...there got to be like 6 of them and all 6 were dead because they each ended up with like 15 posters and a lot of topic-siloing.

Further, I suspect for their own liability reasons that almost-100% of what isn't covered by the current drug policy forum in that proposed SOP is going to be vetoed by administration. Discussion of farming practices and strain reviews and the such would be problematic both legally and in terms of avoiding "blacklisting" by institutions and net-filtering/parental-control software. (Such sites in turn are often blocked by advertisers from receiving their ads. Those ads keep the servers up.) A lot of things that are not covered elsewhere on DU are intentionally not covered on DU at-all.
