So what would a sub forum do? and the point would be? I would be interested in Rawlins and Saratoga and Jackson - maybe I would like to see every thing just 'cuz. Maybe this is a no - I'll think about it.

I voted no only because there aren't enough posts on the Wyoming forum to warrant having sub-forums. In places like the Sports forum, where there are seemingly about 10 NFL posts for one of everything else, I think it would be a good idea, because all the other posts get lost in the mix. The Sports forum also has a lot more posts than the Wyoming forum does. I don't see the need in the Wyoming forum. Besides, Wyoming is just a big city with one long main street, according to what I've read in these forums!

That's actually a really good idea. They should add a national parks forum.

YUP! And some times some of the streets get shut down!

Rather than cities can you divide the state into areas such as South West, NE etc.

Maybe I just couldn't figure out how to vote right:

If there are going to be sub-forums for Wyoming ... I think there should be ones for:
1) Gillette
2)Casper
3)Cheyenne
4)Jackson

All 4 areas are not very close to or very much like any of the other areas at all - part of the unique-ness of Wyoming is how far it is from one place to another and so, this happens all over the state, i.e., Cody isn't much like Sheridan; Evanston isn't much like Riverton; Jackson isn't anything like anywhere else in the state. Neither is Gillette. You could carve Wyoming up into five geographical divisions and cover it as well, i.e.:
SW (Evanston, Cokeville, Kemmerrer, Green River, Rock Springs, Pinedale)
NW (Jackson, Star Valley {Afton, Smoot, Thayne, Alpine), Moose, Bondurant.
NE (Sheridan, Gillette, Ucross, Buffalo)
SE (Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper, Douglas)
Central: (Cody, Meteetse, Shoshone, Riverton, Lander, Rawlins, Saratoga)

As some of you can readily see - even THAT division causes problems - so yeah, good luck with the sub-forums thing.
From what I've seen over time on this forum however, I do think there are certain areas that are quite different from the rest of Wyoming - Gillette, for example, and Cheyenne, and Lusk, and Torrington/Wheatland ... and Geezh - the list goes on and on . Yep - good luck wi' dat!

I don't expect sub forums in the Wyoming section. I've seen a lot of requests in other states for sub's and there's got to be some serious traffic in order for it to even be considered. There's simply not enough traffic here right now.

Just some food for thought: I've been fighting for a new sub-forum in Pennsylvania for South Central Pennsylvnia (Harrisburg/Lancaster/York areas), and even though this is a rapidly growing area with nearly 2,000,000 residents, major tourism interest, and ten threads on the first page of the PA general forum alone, the Administrator won't create a new sub-forum for it. How would you justify a sub-forum for measly Gillette, Cody, Jackson, etc. when an area encompassing 2,000,000 people doesn't even qualify for one?
