Not quite, if you split up then each community might have 
stronger social bonding, but in terms of aggregating helpful 
advice you will be worse off. It would be suitable for geographic 
groups (e.g. for a country/city).

For instance slashdot is very poor in social boding terms, but 
much better than the dlang forums for aggregating helpful advice. 
So the "learn" forum is beneficial socially, but does erode the 
slashdot presence.
