Well let your frustration be known, and if there is enough feedback sharing your opinion then things may change. But since we're going on a year now with both models I don't think things are going to change. Honestly, it's not hard to wade through the forum.
Got a tip for us?

It sucks. I own both types of Mac pros and it sucks both ways.
Traffic doesn't warrant it? If you know what the traffic actually is, you wouldn't've mentioned traffic
As a new owner of the tube Mac Pro & while researching on the tube Mac Pro - it was extremely frustrating to search for information as one inevitably gets led to either the desktop tower/box Mac Pro or just the Macbook Pro. For the future folks researching/searching - first of all - please split the two fora (forums). Secondly - it will be very Google search friendly if we start using a term like "tube" Mac Pro when referring to the tube/cylinder Mac Pro. Kudos to Anim for coming up with the term Box & Tube - wish Apple themselves were creative in the name for the tube Mac Pro.
nMP is no longer new - next iteration if Apple introduces something radically different - will we start using cMP for the current nMP?
aMP (<2012) -> oMP (2013) -> cMP (2015?) where:a = ancient
o = old
c = current in 2015?
Ah, the old "we've always done it this way" reasoning. How unfortunate.
No, that's not how we think. When feedback is posted, it's almost always discussed, even if that means revisiting decisions that were made earlier. But sometimes we decide that the costs (in terms of time, forum bloat etc) outweigh the benefits. That doesn't mean that a particular change will never happen, it just means that it won't happen now.
"We've always done it this way" is never the reason for a decision here.
No, our workload in this particular case is a minor consideration.
No, that's not the case at all. If it were, we wouldn't bother discussing suggestions at all.
Since the moderators all volunteer their time, and since much of what they do is not terribly sexy or visible but they do it anyway because they care about the site, I would say that claiming they don't care about the members is a slap in the face for all they do.
