Prime Search forum

There are several factoring project forums, and a general Factoring forum.

There are several prime search project forums, but no forum for general discussions.

Is it a good idea to have a "Prime Search" forum for discussions about prp testing, sieving, etc. that don't relate to one of the existing projects? This could also be a place for prime search projects too small to have their own forum.

(I'm not volunteering to be a moderator, sorry).

Most general-prime-search threads should go into either the Math or Software forum, depending on their bent.

I think a general prime search forum is a good idea. I prefer to keep the math section for things that are not factoring or prime finding related.

That is OK with me, so long as others don't mind topics with no relation to GIMPS in these forums.
