Regional Forums currently being restructured!

[NSimkins]

You may or may not have noticed the regional forums are now being restructured. Some areas have been removed already and will be integrated into their respective "group" soon. Posts contained within these forums were not deleted and will be restored to their appropriate location once finished. Moderators (new Moderators may also be issued in addition to the existing) of their respective forums will remain in the new organization.Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Much better Nick. Loads faster and will save the wear and tear on my scrolling mouse.

Basic structure is done - posts being moved back to their appropriate location.Feedback/comments??

AWSOME...one of the best changes done to genvibe yet...It was a great idea to consolidate some of the forums... didn't make sense to have 50..Good job.,..

[NSimkins]

Sorry for flooding the "Active Topics" page too.. -- tried to manually move as few posts as possible. I'm done. Open to suggestions or comments.

*raises hand* One question about the regionizing...since when is TN close to Kansas? IMHO, TN and KY would be more at home with the Southeast region... To be fair to west TN, it might be better to sector TN into east TN and west TN and put east with southeast and west with south central. Just an idea.

[shenandoah24]

What about Middle Tennessee????? But I do agree with Kari. I think we fit in better with the Southeast sector. But that;s just another opinion. you know everbody has an opinion...

[Kari]

You can come with us then. East and Middle TN.

Hey Hey hey! I like how it looks, Nick!I just have to ask whether or not this is going to restructure how the Moderator titles are handled.Any changes?

[NSimkins]

Moved KY and TN to the "US - Southeast" forum along with corresponding posts.quote:I just have to ask whether or not this is going to restructure how the Moderator titles are handled.Any changes?I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do that. I'll have to correct my initial post and say that most former regional forum moderators will remain - details to come.

[Kari]

Thanks for moving KY and TN...I appreciate it.

Necropost from hell...Speaking as a Coloradan, our "region" should properly be the "Mountain Region" - Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah.Trust me when I say that I shudder to share a region with California...which is big enough to actually be it's own region - I mean, there are more that *twice* the people in California than in the rest of the Southwest Region states *combined*.California: 35,484,453Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico *Combined*: 16,598,734Add in Wyoming and Montana to the "Southwest/Mountain" Region, and you get 18,017,597...Comparable-ish to Ohio and Michigan and Florida... How 'bout it? (I'll even volunteer to "drum up business" as it were... *grin*)

[NSimkins]

We used to have one forum for each state, and to say the least, there was alot of scrolling going on. We orgnanized them this way primarily due to general location and overall activity. There may be twice the amount of people in CA than in the entire other Southwest Region but those people aren't actually here. We have no immediate plan to reorganize those forums unless site activity shows necessary. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll keep an eye on it.
