Hey guys, I am thinking about creating subforums for the larger metro areas... that would allow better communication between people inside the metro areas and clear up the main regional area for people from outside the metro areas to chat.

Please answer the poll so I can get a clear idea of which members are inside and outside the metro areas.

Please reply to the topic with your thoughts of which metro areas deserve subforums and whether or not you think it would be a good idea.

This a very cool idea. I think Charlotte, Memphis, Louisville, and maybe a Triangle area to include both Raleigh and Greensboro would be a great idea.

I'm going to let people chime in for a few weeks, then take a look at the results.

I like it...Charlotte region would be cool.....

Seeing as how a lot more people are popping up in Louisville it would be nice to have one for us.

I am down at the beach in NC with no one else, which sucks :x

figured more people would have voted...

i like spiders idea

i totally wanted to post up about the auto-x i did yesterday, but didnt want to take up a thread in two forums: mid south(which is really generic for something that specific) and autosports, so i went w/ autosports.

on another forum(some of u mite know which one) i m on, we have 2 charlotte threads: sightings and then the main chat thread which is up 118 pages

wher can i find these at. i did a driving test with my ambulance the other day and then took the xb thru. what a blast.

I vote for a charlotte forum for sure

I like the idea of a forum for the triangle area, ( Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), and also Spider 13's idea of combining the triangle area and the triad area ( Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point) together. Hopefully this would improve commucation between members in our area , as well as attendence at meets and events.

I like the triangle area as well, i hope that people vote!

I am the only person that voted from Memphis. What is going on with that :ponder:

nope i voted as well man! HAHA

I guess Lexington isn't to far away from Louisville to be lumped into one.

I am the only person that voted from Memphis. What is going on with that :ponder:
I am here as well Thomas :lalala:

nope i voted as well man! HAHAI voted for Nashville cause we use SE for Memphis comunication.

OK guys, I haven't forgotten about this. I'm getting very close to adding a few new forum areas to handle the additional people that arrive at the site every day.

I want to clarify that I am not breaking up the regional areas that we currently use. I will not be fracturing them into smaller pieces. I am simply going to add a SUB-forum that so that the highly-concentrated population areas will not clutter the rest of the region's chatter, and vice versa.

At this time it seems that we definitely need a Charlotte Metro to simplify things. Once this new subforum area is created we will move all of the topics regarding that area into the new forum and this current top-forum will be used to discuss all events outside of Charlotte but inside the region.

Doing a Memphis / Charlotte / Louisville triangle seems a little silly to me because it won't really help any single area communicate better... it will just fracture things. Memphis and Charlotte are 632 miles apart! That would be like putting San Francisco and Seattle in a common forum!

But I am not someone that is going to have to live with the changes, and I don't live in the area either, so I don't want to do anything that might hurt communication in this forum. If you guys feel that a Charlotte Metro Forum will only make communication more difficult in this region then it might be better to just let things stay the way they are.

This is your last chance to voice your opinion. Changes are imminent!

I'm getting ready to create a Charlotte subforum! Yell if you think its a bad idea!

!!!!!YYEELLLLL!!!!! just kidding :rofl:

i think its awesome. im at the beach like NC box so not much goes on here. i have to go far and wide to get places. Myrtle beach is a good meeting place for us.

how about calling it the Lower Cape Fear region? or Lower Costal Carolina?

It has been created and is named to match the rest of the metro subforums on the site. Charlotte Metropolitan Area.
