As title states, I think there would be great benefit to New Zealand based members if we had our own forum.

Australia and New Zealand are different countries, seperately by thousands of miles of water. While we share many quirks, almost all topics posted in a regional forum have no common audience. They're either directed for one country or another. For sale threads are also this way, it costs more to ship/receive items between the two countries than from Japan / US.

What has happened because of this, is the Aus/NZ regional forum has just become a Aus forum. All NZ owners instead just use our NZ owners fb page. This is tedious, which important info being lost in the fluff, as is often the case with fb pages.

A separated NZ forum would mean more NZ owners would have an avenue to discuss regional issues, other than our fb page.
I don't believe we would need a seperate classified page as is currently set in the Combined forum. I don't believe NZ owners are buy/selling enough items o warrant another seperation. Rather these threads could just be included in the main NZ forum.

If its an issue of moderation, I'm happy to put my hand up I required. I'm sure others would as well, if required.

Thanks.
