When I proposed the sub forum folders, we had all the regionals in one common pile, without any folders.

As I discussed with Nick (who did the programming back then), I and others thought it was wise to set a threshold. Decided on a minimum of 500 pilots. Later, it was requested to add CommutAir, even though they were a bit below the threshold. All the others had significantly fewer pilots than CommutAir. We added the Other folder for all the rest of the regional airlines, leaving the uncategorized threads (not specific to an airline) at the bottom.

If we created a folder for every one of the smallest regionals, we would end up with double the number of folders we have now. It was judged unwieldy. If we added Silver, why wouldn’t we add every one of the smallest regionals? Some of these only have had a single thread, ever. Some had their last post over a year ago. Again, this was judged to be unwieldy.

This was the reason and rationale. I strongly recommend we stick with it, no changes.
