A large part of the charm of this website, for me, is getting the pulse of the hobby through the eyes of other collectors. This happens to be my favorite period to collect and ,as a result, I spend the most time here. However, I also like to venture off into the pre-war forum, as well as the other sports forums. I strongly feel it is sectioned off perferctly as is. A 1980 to present forum would be a welcome addition for the same reason I love the rest of the forums-- getting the current hobby pulse from collectors with interest in that particular segment.
Again, why tinker with what isn't broken. After the WW II rations, a natural deliniation point was formed, as the hobby was forever changed by newcomers Bowman and Topps. And the '80's again forever changed the hobby as the decade started with the ending of the Topps monopoly and ended with UD's ushering in of the premium card.
It may bring with it a few new members and a whole new perspective on the "shiny junk" era.
One last thing, it should include all sports.
