2.) To maintain theater focus. This is bennifical for both the ATO and PTO. Personally, i dont want to have to sift through alot of uboat crap when all i want is fleetboat stuff, and im sure their is a similar sentiment from uboat fans. If you make a mod that effects both , then post in boths forum. Although ill wager that most mods have a primary focus, and MAYBE a secondary focus, if any secondary focus at all.
Seriously, i think its time to for forum management to pull their heads out of the sand, acknowledge that there is a difference between these two theaters, and the fan culture of both don't always see eye to eye. Best to keep them in their own respective corners.

First off, it is not necessary to see eye to eye on anything. Subsim is, and has been for as long as I've been associated with it... a global community.
<repeating for the umpteetn... gajillionth time>
U-boat players have no interest in prying fleet boat players from their rides... and of course the opposite is true as well. Individuals simply enjoy what they enjoy. There really isn't any changing that.
I certainly don't feel that the forum administrator had his "head in the sand" when he made the decision to have a unified mod workshop for the SH4 platform.
That decision ensures that diversity (and progress) is allowed to live.
The point is moot anyway now, as the decision has already been made.
Things will evolve as they should whether or not any particular individual takes issue with the current format.
There have always been "clashes" and unfortunately there will be more on occasion. That is forum life. Segregating modders by interest would be more damaging to logical modding progress than any "clash" anyway.
Maintaining a "theater focus" is a simple matter anyway via use of simple thread title tag-lines...
"FB" = Fleet Boats
"UB" = U-boats
... or something equally simple.
It ain't hard. The ocean really is big enough.:lol:
