Sections for each STATE - NSW, VIC, SA, QLD etc

**PLES2K** · 26-06-2005 06:58 AM

I was thinking since many threads seem to go offtopic or get hijacked quite often. I am suggesting a sub section for each state.
That way members/users can simply go to their state's section for quick local advice. Any one agree?

If nothing is done, i was thinking of starting a new Honda forum as this is the only one?

Ahhh yess........a valid point and something that I was planning on doing sometime after the forum grew. I guess the only benefit with the current system is that others get to see what's going on in other states without having to go to another forum, however it does all get very confusing!

Also, would this new format be only for events/meets? Because in a lot of other forums, peolpe also put spottings of other members, meets and events in there.

Lets get some feedback!

Sounds like a lot of work...not that I'll be doing any

So your idea is to implement this to which forum? The Lounge?

in CRXAustralia we have sections for NSW, Vic, Sa, Qld, WA, Tas/ACT/NT (as there arnt a great deal of members from these states)

basically its a general discussion section for each state, with all threads allowed (beside explicit etc.) whether they be chit chat, events, cruises, spotting, news etc. aslong as it relates to that state its a.ok

having State sections would eliminate the problems that have arouse with cruise threads becoming excessive with general chit chat and 10+ pages, it would also be easier to track cruise discussion threads if they are in state sections and not the lounge as the lounge section is quite active and new threads are started constantly and end up moving current discussion threads to page2 etc. and members not noticing the thread.

would be a very good idea in my opinion.

cruise thread for state based would be good...but i think separating tech knowledge is a bad idea (if anyone is thinking down this path)

I would think this would be in relation to the Events/Outings forum and the lounge to stay as is ?

Shouldn't be too hard to implement....just have to move the existing threads over........thats all.

I would be more inclined to add "STATE SECTION" to the main index page of the forum with the listed stakes in the group

I was intending on changing the section called "Events/Outings" to say "Regional", remove the two forums called "Upcoming Events' and "Past events" and put in forums for each of the states there.

Putting the state forums in the Events/Outings section would limit their use to cruise/meet organisation only wouldnt it? In another section members could also post stuff like "wheres a good place to get a such-and-such?" etc etc

What im saying is, wouldnt there be more uses for the respective state forums other than just cruise/meets?
