Name of Forum

[daboyz 36]

Shouldn't the the name be Asia:East and Pacific (Except China and the Philippines)?

And, more importantly, shouldn't we be able to pin the primary ongoing discussion threads for the major countries of this region?

Some countries get their entire forums - like PI or Canada. Fair enough.

Other countries are shared within a region. Here, we have NZ, Australia and Vietnam with pinned threads.

But Thailand, Cambodia, Japan are always struggling to keep the main discussion threads on Page 1 where the newcomers can easily find them.

I would suggest that these threads also be pinned.

By the way - this thread should be moved to "Site discussion", imho.

Yeah good idea. I think Captain follows the site discussion forum pretty closely.

Portals.

Then you can follow threads started by people in your same side of the 'hood!

Really under used I think...

Not the same thing Bobby. Not the same thing at all.

There's a community that grows up around a single long-lived thread.

We see it in other areas - the AP@NVC thread, or the 6+ month thread. Even in OT - the n00b, and Say-Anything, and even (gasp!) the boobies thread.

We have an internal debate in our Thai community, because we have 2 threads - Sawasdee3 is in K-1 (which is not a good home for it, since it's really not about K1 at all and has many CR1 and K3 and AOS and RC members), and Thailand which is in Asia-ex-China. So - we need to resolve that situation on our own. But in any event the Portals won't replace the master thread. All I'm asking is that our master thread get the same respect as Vietnam, Australia and NZ. Only fair, I think. And out of my generous heart, I suggest Japan and Cambodia get the same treatment (though they're not asking for it).

Ok - i see what your getting at.

How about subscribing to a thread? That is how I navigate on some epic threads. (boobies).

But point taken - you should take it up with Captain Ewok, he seems easy to bribe talk to...

To add to that, the portal doesn't show anything about someone posting a new reply in an existing thread. It only shows new threads.

Bobby, out of curiosity, what do you guys and gals with Turkish fiances/fiancees do? Do you just use MENA forum, or do you have some place for Turkey-only related discussion?

Hmm - For myself - I just hang out in the (process) forums - I really haven't hit the MENA.

Most of the Turkish couples send PM's when they have a paticular question or something to me.

Your question would be probably be better answered by Mina76!

Fair request!

Pin up the Thai/Philippines/Cambodia threads along with the Viet's crew, AU and NZ then call it: Southeast Asia and Pacific Islanders

China just get its own since China itself is a major group (think 1.5 billion people and counting...)

India and South Asian

Just my thought! Anyone PM the Captain yet?
