I understand the existence of this site is partly (or mostly?) thanks to people using it and the web traffic that this generates so I'm not sure referring local users elsewhere (or losing the obviously popular "general chat" section) would achieve much for keeping it up and running. I am sure there are Chinese, Argentinian or Swedish astro fora, yet we still have IIS, so a classics section on here would be perfectly fine by the same logic. Whoever doesn't see the benefit won't need to use it...simple.
I'd consider classic anything that has had a profound impact on the hobby/subject and 60mm refractors of yore have definitely done that, as have old SCTs and even the humble dob (preferably built in the spirit of John Dobson). I'd also like to see people's views on potential classics in that section.
