Not one person has been able to state a single reason why this would make the forums better.
It has been discussed before and the only thing I see is that it will be harder to moderate.
In terms of meets/cruises everyone now puts [QLD] / [NSW] and so on in their titles
especially for the spotted thread :)
1. easier to meet/talk to people from your own state.Quote:

if you ask me thats 3 reasons why we need it here
Ok, here's my response to your 3 points:Quote:

OzHonda is a car forum, primarily concerned with creating an environment where Honda enthusiasts can talk about their cars and any issues concerned with them. OzHonda is a knowledge base, and shouldn't be mistaken for a meet and greet service.
In saying that though, an online forum allows for a great means for people to meet up and chat with people around their area. However, it's important to understand that we don't want to turn an information filled place, into a place where its all about meeting and greeting people. There are other means to do this.
If you wish to chat further with people that live around your area, feel free to use the PM system that has been implemented, or take it to MSN, ICQ or similar.
2. can set up cruises easier.
What's so hard about going to the Upcoming Events section of the forum, and simply adding tags at the start of each thread title, eg: [SYD], [MELB] etc?
3. talk about state specific events/news.
Again, similar to above.
If you wish to talk about an area specific news topic or event, simply create a thread in The Lounge, and add a tag to the beginning of the thread title.
It really isn't all that hard or complicated for people with half a brain!
Basically the first 2 points are the same thing, ie it makes it easier for people to meet each other etc etc. The third one is easily sorted out by doing what is stated in my response to your 3rd point.
I'll tell you why I feel that individual state sections are not needed:
Having the forums categorised into different areas of Australia only benefits and makes things easier for 2 minor functions of the forum:
a) Marketplace
b) Events/Outings.
In no way will this implementation have any benefit to the Technical, Appearance/Gallery, Model Specific, and Community forums on OzHonda.
Making such a huge implementation like this, the change must warrant for more than just two areas of benefit - areas which bare more of a weighting as well might I add.

Like qball said........but basically we want the focus to be on model specific/technical discussions.
Having state specific sub-forums will move away from this and make it harder to moderate.
Just use the [STATE] prefix and things will be fine.
i am a menber of 3 other forums with state sub-forums and the moderats dont finde it hard at all and i thourt is was a place were ALL honda fins come together and have fun with what ever honda they have not to be put in groups and thats the only place there your welcome.
If i need to take my car some were to get it fixed or mod i would like to have SA people have evey best chence on seeing it.
Im sorry shitbrick, but you really need to work on your grammar!
Let me ask you something, why do you find it so difficult to simply put a [SA] or [ADL] tag at the start of the thread?
South Australian members will see your thread if you put the appropriate tag on it.
in wa we have a honda commmunity page for all hondas which is working good. i like how ozhonda is now. but if that state were divided it would be cool too
