I think it should be two forums, historical (sim reports and Q&A), and fictional (sim reports and Q&A). I think four forums would result in not much traffic in the Q&A forums, especially fictional, because so many questions (especially on fictional) are in the general discussion forum. Its possible to divide too much.

Luckymann is right that there were no complaints about the ability to get A's to Q's in the historical forum until this thread and in fact there is no reason to complain. As he says Q's get asked and A's get posted. The way most board users function a thread isn't buried until it goes to page two. And that plain doesn't happen in the Historical forum.

Still on page 1 is a Q post with no responses that is from Jan 17. It's easy to explain why that one has no responses. The question is about an on line league for which there is likely no expertise in the historical forum.

Additionally the forum description says its for sim discussions with no mention of historical Q&A. Those of us who post about our sims are perfectly happy to answer Qs and have proven that. I wonder what standing the Q posters think they have to take over. LOL.
