So, do my suggestion then, leave the English Regional Forums for any Official BMWCC events their members may wish to post here, and add a new English Forum for any other info.
Oh hang on, doesn't that exist already in the "General Forum" area as "BMW Related Events - Discuss forthcoming BMW related events & activities here."?
Ok rename that one to "Discuss forthcoming non-BMWCC related events..."
How's that? A compromise..

Was that the intention? |
Yes dunc, as it would highlight important announcements/ events.

You're getting warmer now Pittsy.
We could get rid of all the regional forums as I doubt they are of any use to most of the board and replace them with just one for Car Club business.

So, and please correct me if I'm wrong here, we do away with the English BMWCC Regional forums, and lump them all into one, and then colour code the official BMWCC missives, whilst leaving all other general regional un-official type messages in normal type?
Why don't we leave the Regional Forums as they are - to be used only for Offical BMWCC messages - and create another English forum for everything else?
That way we have an Irish, Scottish & English Forum for general Bavarian-Board business, and the old regional forums for when BMWCC members want to up-date us?
If the Regional Forums don't get used that's then down to BMWCC/Bav-Board members, not Bav-Board only members.
Sounds far simpler to me

Many BMWCC members use this forum in preference to the official one. All I am sugesting is that it remains the same and BMWCC relayed info be bold headered with colour coded thread titles.

As for England I'd imagine one social forum would be enough, although it could always be altered later if it needed it.

I would think it would work
The likes of SE ect could then put up an announcement of latest events and news as a sticky so it always at top of page

I have always liked the Region sections,but possibly be more better just England,Scotland,Ireland,Wales and rest of world
That way then folk can still talk to others from there area
Most of my time and chat on forum is with others from my region

Strip them back to countrywide? That means that the busy Irish and Scottish sections continue to work as they are and gives scope for a much more active English (English & Welsh?) forum.

Rhys is on the ball..
thats how its done on the E30Zone.
There are very few posts in the regions that could not happily go elsewhere within the board.
I'm even thinking that my old trackday forum is now a bit of a waste.. and to think how much I badgered Killian into giving us one!
I am pretty sure that if we condensed everything more people would read all the posts and it would be easier to navigate as well.

Getting people to post a descriptive subject is a good idea but won't really happen in practice.
