If you divide your site under two domains, you'll eventually lose those backlinks. And for what? One site-wide backlink from the new domain? I'd rather have lots of backlinks from different sites, rather than one site-wide backlink.

Thanks for your reply. However I think you have misunderstand the trade-off or I've misunderstood your post.
Right now there is a link to our OurDomain.com on EVERY one of the 100,000 member pages. It's a requirement for the free pages. I'm not sure I would call them "backlinks" though, and I wouldn't say I have "lots of links from different sites," because they are all on the same domain as our homepage. My understanding is that they look like 100,000 internal pages with internal links.
So, I think I'm talking about trading 100,000 pages on our site each of which has an internal link to our homepage for what would look like a new 100,000 page site (because it's at member.ourdomain.com) with 100,000 backlinks to OurDomain.com.
