Is it the fact you do not want to have to visit two forums? Or is it something else?
I know that I have 34 forums on "MyFlyerTalk" that I visit several times every day. One extra forum will not kill me.
Guess I am not getting why people would not visit those threads if they are moved to a Canada forum.
I can also only imagine the help and assistance a number of you could provide to people who are asking questions in the Canada forum.
I think that you'll find you're looking to use the Canada forum in a manner that the other regional forums, such as the New England forum and the Japan forum, are not being used.
The Japan forum, for example, has not a word about the latest in Japanese baseball, the resignation of their PM, nor his subsequent hospitalisation. I'm sure you are aware that the Japan forum is probably one of the more 'successful' and busy of the regional forums. Hockey, politics and current events are
precisely the types of things that are being contemplated as being permanently removed from the AC forum.
The regional forums are being used, generally, as a place for out-of-towners to get the best experience out of their visit to a destination. Some find OT threads offensive here, but the same threads would generally be OT in the Canada forum. The only difference is that there they would be out of sight and out of mind.
