Seperate Provincial Forums? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Scaldy · 08-21-2012, 02:23 AM

I think the Vancouver/BC FRS community is large enough now to warrant it's own sub forum. I'm sure the Toronto/Ontario region is also needing their own forum. Any mods that are listening can you please provide feedback towards this process and how it can be furthered? Thanks

PM hachiroku about it

mods cant make subforums only the site owner can

BC
Ontario
Everything Else (Sorry, but you guys know it's true!) :P

Alberta and Quebec probably have a decent representation.

... and then in each of these subforums there are what, three maybe four active threads?... and to check out what's going on in the neighboring-but-minutes-away province we'd have to go to a seperate subforum?

meh!

I do have an extra forum software laying around that I paid $140USD for..

Just not to sure what I want to do with it, was thinking of making a Toronto86 club, or Canada86, but than I decided to get something else than an 86 >_<.

UNITY CLUB?!@

only to you is a province minutes away..

Why not just Canada West and Canada East? Leave it vague as to where the division splits, and see how that goes.

As an observation, Camaro5.com is quite a bit larger than this place is and has all of Canada in one board.

drei · 08-21-2012, 04:27 PM

i think all of canada is fine

east and west doesn't make much sense either, it still groups too many provinces

True but I'm sure there's a reasonably proximity between parts eastern Alberta & Western BC, etc etc.

I was originally going to refer to Montreal (instead of inferring Gatineau) but realized Quebec is actually much closer than an hour and a half away.

Well take a look at your regional traffic, and monitor it. Yes this forum is growing rapidly especially the CANADA sub-forum, but we should only separate when the organization and thread counts start to become overwhelming. Separating the sub-forum too early gives you an annoying experience to explore since much of the time we lurk.

If there's any more forum feedback or ideas there is section at the lower half of the main index of the forum where you can add your thoughts. It will be easier for us mods and admin to see it and get back to you guys promptly.
