The split has been more successful than I expected. I doubted it would help at first, but now that it's been a while I'd say it has made the forum better. There are a handful of posters that just love to debate the same VC/BL subjects endlessly. Now these people have their own sandbox to play in. While I find both forums interesting, I definitely spend more time in the main A&S forum, as it is often more relevant to my riding experiences.
