Suggest "Active Investing" subforum to Investing

[MustacheAndaHalf]

I suggest providing an alternative to "Investor Alley", maybe "Active Investing".  That area would be for active investing discussion only, and not friendly to those who espouse passive investing there.  Some advantages of doing this:

(#1) I know a few posters who don't visit "Investor Alley" much because they're more active, and don't like the atmosphere there.  Myself included - I don't need advice about the same passive investments I've held for decades, but I'd like to discuss active investing somewhere

(#2) Certain topics are more appropriate for active investing, and could be  moved there.  Looking at the current Investor Alley topics, these might fit:
     moonshot investments, ARCK/ARKW, low% of crypto, GME deathwatch, 1.25% margin loan rate, 10% active, tech-leaning index, returns risk with margin, volcano bonds, crypto bank, $10k you must invest, Tesla, growth companies, An experiment, ... (that's just page 1)


On another forum, they have an area for active investing where nobody is allowed to bring up the merits of passive investing.  Posts that do are deleted.  That's the only way to keep passive investors from spilling over to the new active investing area - initial deleting of posts, and for repeat offenders warning and then ban.  Without this, it's pointless - it becomes just another part of Investor Alley, where passive investing spills over and stifles discussion.

You could argue Mr MMM isn't a fan of active investing, but I'm guessing he doesn't have much use for the "Mustacian and Single" area, either.  I think separating passive investing and active investing could produce two areas that are each more focused.  And as the list of threads shows, the interest is already there, it just needs a place to go.

I would participate in a forum like this.

Let's have a whole life insurance forum too where people aren't allowed to bring up the merits of term life insurance. I'm not saying active investing discussions should be discouraged, but I am saying the idea of a "safe space" for what can be a dangerous topic for the unskilled/unlucky is perhaps not a great idea. I also don't much care for the proliferation of sections on this forum -- I think there are already too many.

I count 14 threads in Investor Alley about active investing on page 1.  Where are your "whole life insurance" threads?  You're comparing something with no recent threads against 1/4th of the page 1 posts on an active forum.  If you want to target inactive forums, that's a separate issue with better targets than this idea (Australia has 2 years of threads on page 1, and "Mustacian and Single" has just 2 threads/month).

As to "safe space", isn't Investor Alley a safe space from politics and religion?  Both of those are off topic, and for "Active Investing" it would be off topic to espouse passive investing.  There's a difference in saying you don't see how one specific idea can beat the market, and claiming no active investing can beat the market.  It would not be safe from criticism, only from off topic discussion of passive investing.
