There is rumbling among the skydiving masses

[Divalent 89]

Folks would like DB Cooper to get its own forum, freeing up the otherwise valuable Skydiving History and Trivia forum.

(Ignore the suggestion in the OP: read down)

Can't this be done? (And make it "hidable" like one can do with the International forums). Win win for all: real skydivers interested in the History of the sport don't have to deal with that thread (which is always is the one that shows up on the front page as the most recent post in the forum) and the Cooper fans can then open new threads and maybe actually have conversations that other people can follow. (and maybe you can then target ads for that particular forum that would be of interest to those sorts of people.)

Would it be so hard?

Better yet, give it its own website off of this one. I hate seeing it in the list of recent forum discussions. It's perpetually taking up a valuable slot in that short list. I tried to actually open and follow it once. Newbie mistake.

Is the domain www.batshitcrazydbcooperconversationwebsite.com taken?

We aren't likely to create a whole forum for it, it's a topic that has been discussed several times over the years. While it may change at some point, a single thread should suffice. Considering how out of hand it's gotten in the past, a whole forum for it would turn into a nightmare.

But JeffCa, we may look at the option of removing that forum section from the recent posts lists - so that the list is populated by more vital areas of the forum.
