Well, it was asked about before - but the vote wasn't sufficient. And, I have reservations about this.
as I mentioned on the other thread - when someone wants to discuss an optic to go on a PS90 optic, or one for a FS2000, they expect it to be in the "Accessory" area for the PS90 or FS2000.
This will make it harder for people to find information, and I also know I'll have to constantly be moving threads around. At the moment, if someone wants to talk about something besides an optic to be used on a specific FN weapon - the "general gun discussion" subforum would be the place.
As this is mainly an FN related forum - that's what those accessory areas are for.
Just my 2 cents. I usually give in when an idea for a new subforum pops up - hence the tactics forum, our attempt at an outdoor forum, and the knife forum. However, I think that we already have several "accessory" forums for the various weapons, and an optic is an accessory.
