But if most people want it moved, that's OK."
I'd prefer that they all stay in this forum. It's just easier to locate/participate.

Sorry but in my opinion, the General Discussion forum is exactly where it belongs. There also no reason to make it off-topic so it would disappear because it is on-topic. We already have 79 sub forums now. Sub-forums are where topics go to die, which is exactly what you want to happen. I for one have learned quite a lot by looking at various lake pictures. Interesting for old members to return to a lake many years later by seeing a picture. New members look at these pictures and stay interested, ask questions, plan a trip. Don’t like this topic, it’s very easy Not to click on it. The other topics are still there for you to read.

Well said. Totally agree.

I like it on the main forum also. Having it during the slow months increases posts. Too many sites are uninteresting due to a lack of new posts. I like the pictures too, and trying to remember what distinguishes one lake from another. A separate forum is not necessary and would decrease participation too much.

While I've looked before, I have not been on this year's Name That Lake Forum. Just didn't interest me so I have not clicked and just scrolled on by.
THIS thread, however, caught my attention!

When I log on I have to scroll past up to a dozen posts to get to the NTL posts. However, it really doesn't take much effort and I am happy with them where they are now.
With current forum activity level, there are 6 days worth of posts showing up on the first page of "Listening Point" and only 20% of them are for NTL. I don't think any posts are getting 'lost' to the NTL spam.
