Any particular reason why it cant be put back like it was? It seems everyone prefers the way it was unless there is some reason why it cant be put back. Care to share?

Ken-
The option of re-splitting the forum isn't open? Sure wish the regulators had asked our opinion on this one as it really doesn't make that much sense as seen in the responses from DB members. An 1,100 mile coastline chock full of active divers is just too much to cover in a single forum IMHO.
Others-
Ken did say when he announced the combined thread that he was in favor of looking at options for the name. Those not liking "California Dreaming" should offer options if we are stuck with a single thread
By the way, does California Dreaming include Baja? It is "California" as well.

As for re-splitting the forums, I am guessing he means that it would be difficult to impossible to put messages back into their old forums vs. just creating two separate forums. I doubt there is any identifying information that could automate that process and trying to do it manually would be VERY time consuming.
I've already voted/voiced my opinion, so whatever happens, happens.

Ok, in addition to sharing a Austrian born, Actor/Governor, we share one significant thing......EARTHQUAKES! .
So how about something along those lines.
Slip-Fault Divers, Saline Shock Wave Riders, seismic swimmers, tectonic tank team
Others:
California Current Catchers
Ok....I'll try another tact.

As in Give Us Back Our Old SoCal Section!
..............I am an interested party for a few reasons.
First, I don't see why 2 NDI Clubs should be sharing one forum when the members of those 2 clubs are against the concept.
Second, I don't want to wake up one day to find Deep South Divers, Florida Conch Divers, Kentucky Piranah Patrol, NC Wreck Divers and Texas Swamp Divers (or any combination) sharing one forum. If that were to happen, I wouldn't want to be told splitting them back "isn't currently an option."
Third, I don't like to see anyone fall victim to arbitrary decisions. Each of these clubs was formed following rules set out by Scubaboard and was promised its own forum. While the rules have changed over time (requiring 10 to charter instead of 5), they comformed to the rules in effect at the time and deserve to be treated fairly.
The 2 clubs, NDI Northern California and NDI Southern California are victims of unfair treatment and an arbitrary decision. The situation needs to be set right and right away.

I respectfully suggest that if you cannot re-split the sections, you start over with two new, separate sections. Obviously, the majority want NorCal and SoCal separated. If it is too difficult, leave this combined thing in both areas (if that is possible) and if it is not... start over. We will all be starting new subjects anyway, it is just a matter of what section they end up in, correct?
Please forgive the suggestion if I don't understand the mechanics of the technology of the Board. I am only trying to suggest a resolution to the quandary
.peace,
