I know that cooking is hobby by the forum base model, but TEA was not at it's inception, it was as some users called a "Pub kinda experience“ so a community of liked minded uses.

Sure, done, unless people have objections.

Cooking isn't a community. It's either a hobby or calling, but it is no more a community than soldering is.

BTW, if you do a call for objections it'd be cool if you could wait a reasonable time for them - some of us live outside Australian time zone.

Who would they be? Dave and bitseeker?

Correct.

So perhaps the one that Took One for the Team should give them some space too, no?

In this context, I think that’s overly pedantic. If a sufficient subset of the EEVBlog forum membership was interested in lawncare and, for whatever reason, wanted to discuss the fineries of lawncare among EEVBlog forum users, that set of people is a community and could logically find their sub-forum in the “other communities” part of the board.

Edit: misread dunkemhigh's post, but do stand by what I wrote below. Yes I agree, and that is why I opt for voting and let it run for maybe even a week.

Sorry, but have a look back at his post and tell me that is not childish behavior. Challenging the moderators in that way is nothing more then chest pounding and driving things up the wall.

To me the separate space seems a good solution to not bother the rest of the forum with possible off topic discussions, but let the "community" have its vote on it, and not just the few that post here to express their feelings.

Give it a couple of days to run and then do what the outcome tells us to do. Stay or move.

Moving TEA to off-topic is, IMHO, somewhere between very-wrong to plain-stupid.

Same would be to enforce each post to be about electronics only.  Even if the subject drifts sometimes, it is mostly about TEA.  That thread had so far the most enthusiastic electronists posting there, lifetime faithful to their guild and passion.  TEA was always my fallback read thread, in periods with less activity in the other sections of the forum.  Always nice electronic pics, always friendly chat like posting.

WTF is wrong with everybody lately?  Use the "ignore user list"
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=lists;sa=ignore
for the less "disciplined" temperaments you don't like.

My two cents is leave TEA as it is, and where it is.
