Proposal: Arizona Forum
Hi All,
Can we have a consider to create new Arizona forum included Phoenix & Tucson, AZ. I would love to see new Arizona Forum.
Let's the speculation begin.

I don't know how feasible this would be. I just took a look at the "West" forum and the last two threads that even mention Arizona were both in October.
One thread concerned Phoenix hotel rooms with good views of airplanes taking off and landing. If that is about the most exciting thing to do in Phoenix, I suspect that an Arizona Forum may result in making the Antartica Forum look busy.

I'm inclined to agree with you on this but in addition to seeing what other posts are made, I'm gonna do some poking around as while yes, PHX is a USAir hub and there is the Grand Canyon & Sedona (and it's probably my lack of knowledge of the area), I'm not sure what else.

Since when is two airlines having hubs constitute having a state-specific forum?
While I did spend a good bit of time reading about AZ in the West forum and would have loved to have it all consolidated as I was looking at things to do out there when I was in the process of moving to the Valley, there just isn't the amount of discussion to constitute its own forum.

I do not see a need for a dedicated Arizona Forum.

How about a pause to let the ink dry.....
Then limiting new forums to one every two years to coincide with term limits?
Or how about forums "The Federal Lands" [including National Parks] or "The Indian Nations" Do we really have to get stuck on States?

I don't really see a need for an AZ forum either.

I believe in "If you build it, they will come" but this may be the exception to prove the rule.

I don't see the need for an Arizona specific forum either...many other States have more posts and they don't have their own forum
