My :2cents:

I voted that I don't care, but from a business standpoint you have two options: specialize or diversify.

The site is already pretty specialized which is part of it's allure, however if the core posters are any indication, the audience is extremely diverse. I am willing to bet, simply based upon how many people start threads like, "looking for a sportbike, have 10 years dirt experience" that you could probably generate more noob posters by adding a dirt section. Playing to their comfort zone could get them to become more active, which would most likely translate into more activity on the core forum. Obviously this could partially be identified by taking a look at who has voted on this poll so far... Posters or non-posters... If it's heavily biased towards non-posters then there is a better chance that these folks may open up.

Further, there are many vendors out there that are dirt focused which could pull additional advertising support for the site as a whole.

While I am ignorant to the costs associated with this idea, I cannot imagine the investment could be that significant and the community seems to not be appalled by the idea... The risk seems small so I say try it... If it doesn't get much attention, shut-er-down...

Interesting way of looking at it.
