Much better, imho. When I want to see an ad, I know where to see them all in one place. When I'm interested in discussion, I don't have to wade through ads I'm not interested in. Big improvement.
The discussion board doesn't seem to be as active or interesting as it was when the ads were part of the discussion board. People could comment/respond and the threads became interesting. The pics were always a draw or tease. Has anyone else felt this way?
I can check out the ads and not have to weed through the other posts. It also keeps posts on both boards on the 1st page longer so I don’t miss current ads and there seems to be longer discussions.
I like the way things are now. It is easier to find the ads. I missed a lot of ads because of discussions causing things to scroll off 3 or 4 pages back.
The DC Board is just a reflection of the state of hobbying around here. If you want to check the pulse of local hobbying, you look here. There does seem to be a bit of a slowdown in hobbying and it's probably for all of the above reasons.
Be that as it may, I like the separation of the boards. I no longer have to weed through comments an questions in order to find the ads.

So the reality is the board activity is up when you average both boards together and that doesn't take into consideration the dilution that the Maryland board caused since it's creation.
Perhaps there are many posts that haven't been approved or have been disapproved altogether. So that may be a reason the board seems not as active. Only the moderator knows this.
