I think it's a surprisingly good idea. I doubted separating FFA to another address but leaving the link here would make much of a difference, but it seems to have some sort of psychological effect on people browsing. I've found that I don't visit FFA nearly as much as when it was just another forum to open up with one click, and tamparacing seems to have seen a dropoff in worthless posts by people wandering out of FFA. It also gives room to add a lot of social/myspace-style features and new off-topic forums, and it attracts people who were put off by the tamparacing name- "Why would I go to a racing website to BS with people?" I've gotten that from more people than I would expect, linking them to the TR FFA. I think it lets them grow the free for all into a tampa area social site, which a lot of people were using it for anyway, while at the same time cleaning up some of the BS that was leaking into the car tech forums here on tr.


*edit* I agree with the separate profiles deal, though. TR and TF should have completely separate profiles, if they don't already... I'm going on the info Frank gave because I don't change my stuff often enough to notice.
