I don't post often, and I don't think I've ever posted in the northern California section. But, living in San Francisco and being a relatively new diver who dives Monterey a few times a month, I do (did?) read the Northern California posts quite often. Lots of great information, looked like a good way to meet potential buddies and check on Monterey conditions.
So I was bummed to see that northern and southern California were combined into one section. I suppose we're part of the same state, but it's sort of in name only; while I've never been diving in southern California, I'm told by numerous friends who have that the conditions, sites and stuff in the water are all very different. It didn't feel like the old system of two forums was somehow flawed or broken, at least not to me. I guess a lot of us were too busy diving and not spending enough time in front of our computers. Maybe that's a good thing.
While I guess I hadn't "voted" with previous posts, my preference would be for split forums, even if the old posts weren't re-split. For what it's worth, I might even post occasionally in a NorCal section.
Maybe I'll meet some of you at Breakwater someday. I haven't been in the water much in the last few weeks, as lots of buddies are out of town or too busy with work. Rumor has it that conditions have been back and forth...I was there a week ago when the exit was an adventure and visibility a challenge.
