I don't see there will be any change to the forums - the current line-up seems to work. Currently members who have hybrids can, and do, post in either their model specific forum (Auris, Yaris, etc) or the Hybrid/Toyota Prius forum. Often topics can contain information or discussion which is equally valid for both hybrids and non-hybrids, and for this reason, I think that members who only visit one forum are limiting their use of the forum, and are reducing their opportunity to provide useful responses for others, and to add to the relevant discussion. However, where duplicate threads are raised, then moderators may take action to reduce the duplication - by moving, merging or locking duplicates/linking to the original thread.
