I've rarely seen more than 10 people active in it at a time. Splitting anything with such a low amount of traffic is pointless.
It might make sense if people were trying to discuss topics but too many folks talk about their cats and tv shows - but thats not the case.
I see it as over-zelous move.
If you force everybody out, you'll have 1 empty room and off-topic will again start spilling between one way or the other.
Grass roots?! Get serious he is not trying to overthrow the government here. Just fussing about a room usage vs NAME that is not being 100% ocd certified for the content that flows through.
