For example, I perused the London threads for quite some time and got a lot of great information there on which properties to consider and which to avoid. I will use TripAdvisor for limited data points--and sometimes photos--but I find this community to be a much higher level of accuracy. Agree that the way it is set up now, it's pretty easy to subscribe/follow things that interest you.
This is my approach as well. I found the Chicago thread incredible and extremely helpful. I also find myself on TripAdvisor for certain things, but my main info comes from fellow Flyertalkers. I don't think we need regional separation either.
