How do you speak to the forum admin ?

[flyingtrotter]

As the thread title highlights I am at a loss as to how to communicate with the admin

My request is to create a regional dimension as different countries/regions have different spec and the US diniance of the forum rather distorts discussion for those outside the US

I created what become the UK sub thread but it is approaching 40 pages and would benefit for a sub structure

I fear if this is not created soon as we have a decent number of vehicles in the UK the utility of this site will reduce - I don’t want to post into a US orientated vacuum

So………please can we have a regional structure

There was a thread about that before -- yes regional forums would be nice. You can message the admins, or we can try to summon them all by tagging them maybe?

@Dragoon @El Chorizo @Nuke @supersix -- is it easy to set up regional forums?

One possibility:

Top level is the Toyota regions:

• Japan
• North America
• Latin America
• Europe
• Africa
• Asia Pacific

In the North America region something like this (with sub-forums possible in each) shamelessly stolen from another forum with minor modifications:

• North East Region -- MD, DC, PA, DE, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, NH, VT, ME
• North West Region -- WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, AK
• Mid West Region -- MN, IA, MO, WI, IL, MI, IN, OH, KY, KS, SD, NE ND
• South East Region -- TN, AL, FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, WV
• South Central Region -- OK, AR, LA, MS
• South West Region -- NV, UT, CO, AZ, NM
• NorCal Region
• SoCal Region
• Hawaii
• Texas
• Canada
• Mexico

I'll let others suggest sub-forums for the other regions, but it sounds like Europe could use a UK sub-forum.

I prefer to speak to the Admin’s as if they are small children, or cognitively challenged adults.

….er wait that’s not what you meant is it?

You can "start a conversation" with any of the admins and they will respond.

While creating regional sub forums may seem like a good idea, but exactly what would prevent someone from the US sub-forum posting on the UK sub-forum and vice-versa? (which seems like that's what you dislike). People currently dilute threads with so many different "rabbit holes" it's very hard to follow the original topic. I honestly don't think anything would change.

Sub forums for North America wouldn't help. We all have, more or less, the same truck specs. I think that would lessen my experience here. I travel all offer NA and purchase from all over and many of the best ideas come from outside my region.

If we could have a signature feature that allows us to show country, and LC model owned I could have that context for reading each post. That would help IMO.

Make a poll! I’m for keeping things the way they are, however. Like so many other forums, everyone always ends up in the generalized section, anyway.
