As a very recent member at ISC, I don't have the 'history' that many of you had there. Many of you use it almost as a chat board, and I certainly don't have a problem with that. However, from my point of view, these boards are a very valuable source of information, and one of the big advantages of the old board was the ease with which one could research previously posted views on equipment.
If I want to canvass general views on a rod manufacturer, it used to be easy just to go to that section. Entering 'Sage' into the Tackle section will now bring up a lot of posts about, for example, reels and lines which best suit Sages, as well as the stuff about rods.
For those like me, some subdivision of the board would be useful, although perhaps not as many sections are needed as were on ISC. A separate section for rods (easily the most talked about item of tackle) would certainly make information-gathering much easier.
