A sub-forum will not produce the same results. Sub-forums, as a whole, are generally ignored. I've been doing this a long, long time and I know from experience. A sub-forum would kill the whole point. It's not about who came first, though the Toyark name is as old as TFW2005, if not older. TFW2005 is Transformers first and everything else second. This site is everything else first. We're using a non-TF area of our forum to help get members to a non-tf sister site.

And it's not spamming the forum. You're misusing the word spam. Since those threads can all lead to discussion, they are not spam. They are completely relevant to the Toyark forum as a whole. The Toyark forum on TFW2005 is an extension of Toyark.com now, and not vice versa.
