Ken, I don't know.
Some history:
Spark shut down the suggestion for a forum including flashlights
here. (Note: he did eventually open a gadgets forum.) So I considered opening my own.
At that time I was wanting to open a political forum. But when the time came to click the [Buy Now] button I used the UBB software to start a flashlight forum.
Here's my verbal musings feeling the interest in a forum dedicated to lights.

Judging by the response from my original question there should be a flashlight forum with reviews and member experience. I would have a lot more money now if I didn't go crazy in search of the ultimate flashlight I would have more knives and less flashlights. At least a Misc. forum other than knives. Maybe a bright shiney object forum.

If I remember right, when CPF first opened, the "Knives, Multi-tools and other Gadgets" and "Watches" forums were under "Bright, Shiny Objects". The cafe (Initially called 'Chit Chat') was opened and BSO was renamed "Off Topic".
