A: New sub-forums are added when there are enough threads about the area. This decision is not based on the population of the area. We prefer not to add sub-forums for large geographical areas. Adding a local sub-forum requires moving all previous threads related to the area into the new sub-forum, so it's not a very quick procedure.
Hickory and Catawba County would be the primary focus of the new sub-forum. If surrounding areas including the cities of Lenoir and Morganton and the counties of Alexander, Burke, and Caldwell should be included, I could support a Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton sub-forum.
I agree that if one is added for Hickory et.al, then one is needed for Fayetteville. Both are in "no man's land" and threads pertaining to each are scattered among several different forums.
If new sub-forums were added, don't think Hickory would make the top five. Perhaps more helpful would be some "small print" listing what significant cities that should be included in the larger cities' forums.
I like the idea, but if we're adding subforums, why not add one for Fayetteville, Wilson-Rocky Mount, and Wilmington while we are at it?

I will support sub-fora for Fayetteville, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Wilmington, and any other city in North Carolina that has a good quantity of quality on-topic threads relevant to a specific city or locality. Wilmington, Greenville, and Fayetteville, in the greatest quantity of threads in descending order, should have support to have sub-fora. I recall a thread, "Fayetteville/Sandhills City-Data Subsection," discussing the idea of a Fayetteville sub-forum. Wilson and Rocky Mount need more quality on-topic threads relevant to them.

Each state's sub-fora has a description that specifies which localities it covers.
Example:
Fayetteville: Cumberland County, Fort Bragg
Greenville: Pitt County
Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton: Catawba, Caldwell, Burke, and Alexander counties.
Fayetteville: Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, Scotland counties and Fort Bragg
To represent Fayetteville CSA AKA The Sandhills AKA Fayetteville-Lumberton-Laurinburg Metropolitan
Unless Fort Bragg wouldn't be included, as it's also in Hoke, Moore and Harnett counties, which technically makes Fort Bragg part of the research Triangle
Wilmington: New Hanover, Bladen, Dare and maybe Onslow counties, that area
