There was in recent past both TTA and AF and if people needed a breather from one place, they popped on over to the other place. No big deal. Having two forums is nothing new and it allows us to influence things through the choices we make. It's a good thing. Having two very active forums (and a handful of less active forums) also sends a message to people out there who are thinking of leaving religion that this is a safe option that many have made before them and there will be support and friendship to help them along their journey.
I've been lurking and watching events unfold, but I'm a relative stranger to AF so I've been trying to keep my thoughts to myself as much as possible. I hope the people who choose to leave one forum for any other forum will not slam the door behind them. Who knows what the future holds? Keep your options open and go where it makes you happy to go. Post wherever you enjoy the conversation and the company -post in multiple places if that's to your liking- but don't leave out of spite and anger.
