This to me looks like a split is the obvious suggestion/choice. As far as I can see this section is now found in the stack exchange network as the "sound" section. But the title of the section at the top of the page is sound design.

By now I think it ought to be clear to the mods that the old SocialSoundDesign users and the music/live/general sound users of other stack exchange sections see what sound design is and what type of questions are appropriate so differently that a joint section won't really do anyone any good.

My personal guess is that in a short amount on time many/most old SSD users will stop coming (some already have as far as I can tell as they don't participate as they used to). Thus further making the amount of general "sound" questions outnumber the more niche style film/TV/games type of sound design that was discussed on the SSD site.

I do not want the SSD community to vanish, I liked it, a LOT.
