As mentioned above location is pretty irrelevant since a large number of members find most threads via New Posts searches anyway. And this forum is - and always has been 100% outside search engine indexable so Google and the others index it daily or more frequently. Our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) generally places us near/at the top of search results.
In all honesty, Pete likely won't even see this thread. It's a big board and he's one person. He actually never saw the thread Damselfish linked to either but several mods did - any who would've brought the topic up for discussion in the backroom if we felt it had merit. Including me since I'm a solo diver and subscribed to this forum about 5 years ago. No one did.
When we made the decision to open up this sub-forum we also considered (briefly) moving it. But left it under Technical diving - I believe since specialized equipment/training is generally thought to be needed by solo divers in agency approved programs. At least that's how I recall it.
If you're still looking for some traction for this discussion - posting here is the wrong place. A better option would be Feedback in Site Support - there other members might see it and respond. If enough do - of course we'll re-visit the decision.
If you'd like we can re-title this thread and move it there. The simplest way is to Report it with the requested changes since any available mod sees that soonest.
I fully expect Pete to see these posts and take appropriate action, I'm an optimist.
