There are basically 2 ways in which people browse the internet.
1) Search (usually a search box, and refine the search with multiple searches)
2) Browse (usually hierarchically within a site)
This proposal is saying that #2 is broken because it's all in one place and there are too many adverts, and that for the people who prefer to browse that #1 doesn't fit their requirements.
Search will not be affected at all... but in some ways will be further enhanced by being able to search within a specific sub-fora.
Browse is what is broken. And to the people that browse, search is not what they do. All successful sites offer both methods of navigation because search doesn't answer everything even if we repeat the mantra UTFS until we're blue in the face.
"Do nothing" is an option. But then, that's reflected in the poll... people could vote "No". So far, fewer than 25% of people who have voted think it's the right option.
