pro:
more tidiness in the forum
single threads would not drown that easy

cons: more overlap in the forum (where to put the TH clangora?)
the header gets bigger and bigger, in the end the main DIY-forums threads are moving to page 2 Wink

one forum more i have to go to and check for news

what about removing the main DIY forum entirely? just sub-forums? would that make sense? this is the actual situation on my screen anyways - i always have to scroll down and down for the threads...

bottom line:
i would say do it, you even have a volunteer moderator!

just my 2 pence

I'm not sure about splitting off the drum circuits. In most cases, they're so close to "standard" synth circuits / voices that I think there's more benefit to be gained from the cross-polination of ideas when the synth threads and drum synth threads intermingle in a joyous cacaphonous orgy of... okay, I'm getting carried away there. Wink

Still, I think intermixing drum thread and regular synth threads works well. Just my $0.02.

DIY forums tend to be organised by designer (TH, Yves, Ray, Lunettas, etc) not by function (VCOs, filters, stomp boxes, etc). If there was a designer who only did drum machines, then that would fit what has been done so far, but I'd be worried that if there was a single drum machine forum it would split information from the various designer forums.

fwiw.

I read from this that there is a tendency to say no to a diy drum forum, I'll inform Lars a bout this.
