I’m pretty pro-this, conditional on Scott being pro-it.
1) It sort of adds Slatestarcodex back to the rotation of high-quality-content to discuss on Less Wrong, so people here can easily learn about it. (I would NOT want to add the more political posts here though).
2) Maybe it’ll split the comments? Sure, but the comments there are already huge and unwieldy (possibly more-than-dunbar’s number worth of commenters) so I’m actually fine with that. Discussion over there is already pretty split up among comment threads in a hard to follow fashion.
