Semantics is missing the point
So far it seems like most people are NOT in favor of creating a new forum for the Retina Pros... some of the arguments center around the idea that the new Retina's are still "technically" regular Macbook Pros.
But here's the thing: if you look at a lot of the questions in that forum regarding the Retina Macbook Pros... they ONLY apply to the Retina models. For example, most of the questions center around the display itself, or gaming performance at 2880x1880, etc etc. In fact, most of the discussion in regards to the Retina model ONLY pertain to the Retina model - regular MBP owners have no reason or insight to read into those discussions.
That's the best reason for creating a new subforum. It doesn't matter what Apple calls the computers.
