Hello,
I’d recomend that you split this forum into sub forums as follows:
(1) About BatchPCB – business model, capabilities, orders, etc
(2) About particular PCB layout software – eg the Eagle forum, the OrCad forum, the PCB forum, …
(3) About PCB layout techniques – eg “why do I want a ground plane?”, “why did my board fail drc?”, etc

I say.
Batch PCB forum.
PCB Discussion Forum
I agree with gussy there. A place to get questions answered specifically for BatchPCB and just a general forum to ask studid questions about pcbs would be nice.

I agree with gussy too. If someone wants help with a particular piece of software they should go to that software’s forum/website, unless it relates directly to BatchPCB.

As long as there are people answering my questions I don’t care how the forums are named.

What attracts me to SFE is a community of individuals who have similar goals and interests. If I have a question about Eagle, for instance, I’d rather ask it here than going to the appropriate domain, where I may ask some stranger a question and then bid them goodbye forever. I’m really appreciative that SFE has been tolerant about off-topic posts, and hope they continue that way. Finding others who want to create electronic gizmo’s in their spare time is not easy, so a resource like this is a treasure. Ultimately it is up to SFE what to title their forums and if they tolerate us newbies asking silly questions in irrelevant forums then that is fine with me.
Here’s a me too on gussy’s post.
Cheers guys, maybe someone from SFE will see this post 
agreeing with gussy. Three forums is spreading it pretty thin.
2 Forums sounds good to me - one for batchpcb, one for actual PCB design questions [whether it be electrical or softwatre].
I’ll add the second forum momentarily
Cheers,

Greetings,
Bad idea! Sub-dividing the forum creates the problem that we face on other venues ([EAGLE Wiki, EAGLE Support forum) - too many options or complexity for trivial (but important to the poster) issues.
I like the current arrangement.
This forum exists to support BatchPCB - regardless of which tools are used for CAD. I learn more about BatchPCB from the non-EAGLE users, although I only use EAGLE myself.
Let’s keep life simple…
