Instead of creating sub-forums for the various European countries what if there was a policy to place the name of the country you are referring to at the beginning of the thread title so it is easier to search.

So instead of titling it "Crime in Barcelona" title it "Spain: Crime in Barcelona"

Thoughts??

ADDED: You could even just add a drop down list of countries as the prefix just like Coupon Connection has for "Have", "Want", "Question", "Free", etc.
