I agree about not wanting to loose the rest of the gang, regardless of their accents and regional experiences, that's half the fun.

We have put the framework together for regional forums. It seems best for FB to create the regional forums, and you can create your own specific groups. I am hoping that everyone can use these forums to connect, set regional gatherings, see each others' oven, have parties and meet at great pizzerias (if not more!).

Let me know how it works for you.

Sounds good James - by regional do you mean country in the first instance, then say state etc??

[SCChris]

Thank you James!!

Hey Rossco,

Yes -- Country first, and then state (or in the case of the US, country first, and then region). We have set up different regions in the US (west, midwest, etc.) in the forum, and within the Australian forum, each state can create it's own sticky (permanent) thread. If we have trouble setting up groups for the Australian states, we will set up individual sub-groups for each Aussie state -- and other geographies. Let's see how sticky threads work.

Chris, let's see how many community members you can recruit. :-)

We'll see where it goes!

Hi James ... thanks for the update.

That sounds excellent and should keep things a reasonable level and not become too fragmented with hundreds of smaller subgroups.

Hopefully posters will still continue to use the main groups from the common activities like builds and not post say pizza making info, when it would be more appropriate in the main areas currently dedicated to these activities.

I just noticed the Regional Forums - neat idea.

I love this idea. I want to throw a Seattle FB pizza party as soon as I get my oven up and roaring. Of course, most of you are ahead of me, so maybe you should show me how to use my oven!!!
