- Heartily agreed. And if you are going to split it, I'd suggest the first split
- should be to creae a .marketplace group, since easily half the traffic is
- buy/sell/trade stuff. If you got that out, I'm not sure there'd be enough
- traffic that you'd need to split by game system. That could be the next step, if
- needed.
