On one hand, it is true that this group had a particular purpose when it was being created since the Orient wasn't even in existence back then. Now not only do we have the Orient, but hoods allowing for discussions about any part of Asia open to everyone.....at the same time, I'm at loathe to see this group disappear, or even change too much. I think its great strength is to be a place where all the cultures appear side by side, which in a way reflects what happened in Asia, namely the interaction between cultures that built all these amazing civilizations.....but what should we do from here, I do not know for sure....what do the others think?
