I have a similar poll on the RSD forum - so have been refining the idea from the comments made -

keep everything as it is on the main forum but still have a sub forum so we can copy the "special"threads or posts, tech, med, therapy type posts to the subforum, so they are easier to find.

in the subforum we could even have organized thread categories-
surgery info one one
therapy on another
TOS articles
or something like that.
