- The group was attempted to be split about 2 months ago, and failed. Thus
- according to policy, no new discussions for splitting should be brought
- up for 6 months. (Around May then from what I remember).
-
- As a general rule, from what I have seen splitting groups does nothing
- to help traffic. As a matter of fact, it tends to increase as things
- get cross-posted. Overall the flood of articles does seem to be slowing a
- little lately.
