Would it be discrimination to say I don't give a feck about East Texas?

I would like to second this

If not all three (3), which one??

P.S.

Who can add a sub-forum (Mods)??
Yes. Each populous region not centered around one of the major metros should have its own forum. It's been requested several times, but nothing has been done yet. Other smaller states have plenty subforums, some of which are hardly active, yet the huge state of Texas only has SFs for its major cities.

You may not, but countless others do. It's probably the region most in need of a subforum.

How about if I move
this thread to About the Forum, once you all settle on what local forum you'd like to see added? Administrator is not going to consider an open-ended request.

Also, Administrator no longer adds regional forums, so a West Texas forum won't fly. New subforums must be centered on a city.

Unfortunately, if you can't have a sub-forum for a region of the state, I don't see the point in adding another city sub-forum because none of the remaining Texas cities is large enough to attract a sufficient number of new threads. As pointed out, even Corpus Christi seems to be a quite borderline case in this regard.

Exactly, so we might as well leave it the way it is. As far as addind more region subforums, I was hoping an exception could be made for Texas since it's so large.

At times, I feel like the ONLY one that ever posts anything on Corpus Christi. I thought that it was needed at one time just like so many others on here feel that their town needs one, but it turned out to a waste.

At least we have one for El Paso on the western side of the state. Look at the Colorado forum, it's like the western part of their state doesn't exist. It's 100% front range. Just saying, it could be worse.

But the main population centre on the Western Slope, Grand Junction (where I once lived), generates very few threads, so this is the same problem as the smaller Texas cities. It would make less sense having a Grand Junction sub-forum than a West Texas regional sub-forum (or alternatively about as much sense as having a sub-forum strictly devoted to San Angelo).
