I felt the split was a poor choice, and I feel it has worked poorly. In effect this means anything which may or may not be VC-related gets posted to the new sub-forum, so we have a very arbitrary devision by topic. However it was pretty much indicated that the VC sub-forum was meant as a free-for-all, a place for the inevitable flame wars, so a division by behaviour. I'm not sure what was accomplished - I don't think the quality of the forum(s) has improved any, or that people are any better behaved.
The bottom-line, to me: this is still not a welcoming or productive place to hold a discussion, and still not somewhere I feel I could post a question (e.g. comment on this situation/street design) and have any hope of a productive discussion. Bloody entertaining sometimes, though.
