I would applaud the creation of a WNS forum. This would be good for the reasons people have stated, but in addition it would be good because the existence of a forum for discussions of WNS would emphasize that WNS is an issue for cavers to consider and deal with--it would raise awareness about WNS.
Perhaps a WNS forum could also have a locked thread at the top providing instructions for donating to the NSS's WNS Rapid Response Fund.
The bloated WNS thread could be split into a number of threads, but since it's been around a long time and has some kind of logical progression to it (or at least parts of it), and since people have gotten used to using past pages of the thread for reference, I think it would be better to simply move the WNS thread to the WNS forum, lock the thread, and have people create new subtopic-specific threads to continue discussion of WNS matters.
