Too bad Cincinnati's sub-forum is quite active. And metro wise, Toledo is significantly smaller than Cincy.

But honestly, I think Toledo should get one.

Of course it should. It still boggles my mind that it doesn't have one. But hey....not my website.

To put this in perspective, Toledo is bigger than:

Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Buffalo, Orlando, Rochester, Boise ID, St. Paul MN etc...

I'm gonna quote myself, because I think i said it best.

Come on, I won't argue that Toledo should have it's own sub-forum, but to say it is 'bigger' than Pittsburgh, Orlando, New Orleans, or Buffalo is ridiculous! I know that technically when looking at the city propers that you are correct, but we all know that the better statistic is the metro size more than actual city size! Some states have stricter & different annexation laws or natural barriers as in the case of New Orleans that make it tough for them to expand their boundaries and add to their proper count. By the way though, Pittsburgh has more people than Toledo anyways inside their city limits as they are now over 330k now while Toledo is around 300k, and St. Paul is part of the Minneapolis sub-forum, so it doesn't really have it's own.

Orlando MSA has > 2 million, Pittsburgh MSA has almost 2.5 million, Buffalo MSA has >1.1 million as does New Orleans MSA, and Rochester MSA has >1 million while the Toledo MSA is < 700k, hardly bigger than the aforementioned cities.

You have a point w/Boise - although in Boise's defense it is the main hub of Idaho and growing rapidly - but the other one's are laughable. If you really want to argue it, look at my state (South Carolina) and places like Myrtle Beach w/around 200k people & York/Lancaster County w/about the same both having their own sub-forums!

I'm not really sure how it is ultimately decided which places get their own and which don't.

From what I've read in the other Toledo request thread, the decision to make a subforum is decided purely on thread activity. If a place - regardless of size - has a lot of discussion, it get's its own subforum.

There just isn't enough discussion about Toledo and surrounding areas to warrant its own subforum, yet.

Oh really? Have another look. Toledo just got its own forum. So I highly suspect this thread can be closed now.

Actaully Pittsburgh is around 310,000, not 330,000. New numbers just came out. You were right, Toledo is around 300,000.

Hey, I was just repeating what Administrator has written in the past. Maybe Toledo reached some majic number of posts, or Administrator changed their mind?

I suspect it probably had something to do with both. But hey...my "Oh really?" comment wasn't meant to be snotty. I was being facetious.
