Thanks for looking for feedback!
It's great to be able to browse turbo-related posts in one area, but the number of views and timeliness of responses does get limited by branching them off.
In terms of experts and valuable posters, I wonder if experts tend to browse the general tech form and only turn to specific forums when they have a problem? If I had an important turbo question I'd probably try to post it in general tech where it would get the most attention in a quick way.
I've always liked the trans forum, but that's largely because Bruce answers so many posts with *very* helpful responses. Maybe this forum will bring out a few similar gurus, but my 2 cents would be to at least take a very conservative approach to moving posts from general tech to here.
