Attn: Moderators; Let's Move The Regional Threads
How about moving the regional rides/random chit-chat threads to the regional forums?
1.It's getting crowded in here.
2.Joe created regionals for a reason.
3.SS/FG primadonna's should not be so lazy.
4.Double standards for moving threads based on relevance is bad policy.
5.I would start a "Land of Serendip Riders Unite!" thread, but Serendip is a fictional place.
6.Even the Australians had to yield eventually. They got over it.
7.Exclusionary, divisive threads that are 10,000 pages long have no business here.
8.Pie is more than just a long number. But you never learned that if you avoided a thread with a place-title of a city you don't live in.
9. The forum is in need of a cleaning. (good job[165], but you can only spray so much Lysol on the dog-poo.)
10. How many members live in Toronto & DC? Every time I see a new post, one of those two places is at the top of the new post list. Now Long Island has joined the fun. Yay for seccesion. Not.

Yeah, there's a difference between a "hey, who else here is from X city?" meet-'n'-greet type of function, and a chatroom for a bunch of people who know each other sharing inside jokes.

i am not sure if anyone remembers the track forum being imbedded within this one (a sub-forum, if you will). I am going to look into something like this for all the remaining regional threads. I cannot guarantee anything, but it is worth a shot.
stay tuned.
stay tuned.

i've never understood why if you don't like a thread just don't click it open or post in it and move on, and if its on the next page or 5 more down the road i just don't see what the big to do is...

Jock, Climbo, and GKW (PShaw) haven't come back. Those are 3 of the guys I rode with in Oz. Kottr still visits, but not as much. And the site lost a lot of traffic when they left.

I think threads like this should be avoided by using the PM feature. Seriously. There are already three or four of them floating around. Threads like this are just a distraction from the more meaningful threads like "Which stem looks the best" or "Which shorts are the coolest"
...I'm just sayin'
