No, it was created as a place to "hide" the discussions... Nothing more. Engine origin discussion is a highly relevant computer chess topic.


Well, to me it doesn't matter what the intent of the founding fathers was. Its a nice place to dump these extremely charged threads. Sure, they are relevant, so relevant they have their own forum! But just like the other forums, it describes a big chunk of posts that a big portion of people don't always feel like reading. I would personally be just as annoyed seeing tournament results always posted in the general forum as I am seeing this stuff. Its not that I never read it, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But its such a prolific topic with such a segmented audience that it seems worth strongly encouraging usage of the sub forum in my mind. If people want to open it up to everyone (it may have some heated discussions that I consider a bit embarrassing at times for our field, but certainly not any worse than CTF) I am OK with that, though I never really understood what the big deal was about forcing people to have an account since no one is ever denied one to my knowledge.

This wasn't a "founding fathers" issue. We started with just one forum. We added a general, programmer and tournament forum later. EO was added when robolito hit the scene, I believe.
