    UK forum or group?

    There's a fair few of us on here now. Wondered about the possibility of a UK section for the site for sales, swaps, pass it ons and meets?

    At the moment it looks like it would be very quiet!

    Maybe a Europe section? I don't think there are that many of us (actively) on here. Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome, but I would guess there are probably less than 50 people in the UK who participate here regularly? Not enough for a separate forum.

    There is an "all others" category in the trip planning section, UK posts get very little response... Maybe because people haven't seen it?

    I look at this kind of like when vendors get their own subforum - the mods just don't do it because someone asks - there has to be a groundswell of support. Judging by the responses in 24 hours, that just doesn't exist.

    But hey, it's a start!

    That's it in a nutshell. At this time there just isn't enough activity to justify separate Outings subforum. As far as the For Sale forum goes I think one could make an argument for splitting it into US & Others subsections.

    +1 to this. Even without a swell of activity, it would still give our overseas friends an option that they don't otherwise have. This to me seems like a "nice to have it, even if it's not used as much as the domestic category" sort of situation.
