Since they split the provider ads into a separate board, I'm curious if use of this hobbyist board has declined or stayed the same?  I must admit I don't look at this board as often as I used to -- or should.

The board is less congested over on the Chicago ad side and I think having
the  regional board by itself, helps prevent ads from being pushed to the bottom
being mixed up with topics of discussion . I have noticed a big difference  .

I agree with Angela.  I was iniitally skeptical, but I find I like this new arrangement. Much less clutter when you want to review the ads.  This side seems to be as lively as ever.
