Sort of. Back in the day, when PS was much busier, it was nice to have the antique section separate for the small population that liked antiques. Otherwise, I'd miss that *one* post about a beautiful old cut or antique ring after it gets drowned out by a whole cluster ton of other modern stuff threads on RT or on SMTB.
Now, everyone's getting an old cut, and they're all over RT/SMTB.
