I think it's probably isn't necessary right now as threads concerning lightning wallets are still a minority(as far as I know). But really, I'm for creating a separate board for LN won't really hurt. While I think it will slightly be inactive, having all threads concerning LN on an independent board would be great in terms of being organized.

i would to see a separate board for Lightning Network (both technical discussion and clients) but i think it is  way too soon to create it since there aren't that much topics on the subject and most of the topics that already exist (like the ones you posted here) should still remain where they are like the one in beginners and help board or the Electrum related topic.

The issue I see, is that yes you have a good point with that. BUT even the 1st thread I had listed points to a Telegram channel and a pair of different websites.
One of the others I found, not sure if I listed it, points to a discord chat.

It just feels to me that we are saying "come to bitcointalk to talk about bitcoin, go here to talk about lightning"

I was trying to find out how to fix something I broke with my node and wound up on finding the answer on reddit. Was not even and discussion about it here.

Not good not bad just not here. Which is why I bought it up.

I mean while having a board for LN won't hurt, I don't think it is required right now. Cause think about it, not only is there no demand for this, there's lack of genuine interest in the whole topic itself. A very very small portion of the users here know and understand LN over here. People wanted a new board for Segwit when that thing was going all over the forum, but now, there's hardly any talk about it. Same goes for signature campaigns, people begged for a separate signature campaign board, and now there are hardly new campaigns, and the whole board won't even exceed having 2 pages. Point is, discussions will eventually start slowing down as you go, and the board will die off.

Rather, create a thread in one of the technical boards and allow everything related to LN on it, have arguments, debates, drama, James Charles, anything. Something like the Wall Observer thread.

Despite repeating another topic, I want to voice my opinion: yes please I like LN, and I have high hopes for the future and I expect it to need a separate board at some point anyway, so we can just as well get it now.

Or, as suggested in the other thread on the same subject: a dedicated board for all layer 2 solutions.

If you look around this forum there's a tiny number of mentions of it beyond mindlessly dropping it in as the solution to everyone's problems. Perhaps the creation of a board would foster more proper discussion. It certainly doesn't deserve one based on what I'm seeing at present.

Is there an equivalent on another site somewhere?

Lightning sub section now, or lightning sub section later?  It's just a matter of time before the forum needs one.

There are several discussions about Lighting network already around the forum.  There are at least three "Lightning Test" threads in the lending section.  Maybe there aren't enough threads to fill the first page of a new board right now, but that won't be the case for long.  Electrum has disclosed their next release will include Lightning capability.  Once the most popular bitcoin wallet around includes Lightning functionality the number of new threads asking "what is it," "how to use it," and who knows what else will flood that board.
