My singular description of the forums is "Community". If we cannot share ideas and respect other's opinions, we have no community. And if the moderators and admins had a mission statement, it would be something along the lines of preserving, maintaining, and growing our community.
I want to say... I am all for this change. I notice already new topics being brought up in the general A&S forum by new members which would have gotten no notice, or outright scorn, before the forum was split. I also notice that it hasn't stopped the VC discussions from moving right along either. I think this is a win-win situation for all involved.
