Move all Non USA Just Found into ONE Forum?

[SirSteve]

What do you think about moving all the NON USA Just Found threads into their own forum? ie.

Just Found (USA)
Just Found (Non USA)_

Comments please.

Hmmm. My personal opinion is that it would be crowded.

[rynobot]

they'd have different threads.

[Nexu]

No kidding. :rolleyes: It'd still be crowded.

I don't use them but I tjhink it would be harder for the people who do. You'd have to pile through a load of threats to find one that's in your country. I don't think it would work, it's better as they are.

PENDO!

I agree. There aren't that many Just Found threads. It would make this a less desirable site to visit. I don't want to have to go through what's not being released in the UK, Australia, etc., in order to find out what's not being released here in Canada. I just think it would be a mess, different threads or not. There are plenty of forums here that I never look at, as they don't interest me...I don't think they should be shut down though. Why not do a poll to find out how many SSG members are not residents of the USA? I'm sure there are significant numbers.

please don't !
I really love the way it is devided now, everybody can check out the place he needs and doesn't have to scroll through everything till he finds the right thread
just leave it as it is, it's fine this way

I think that if you do this, you risk alienating the non-US members of this board. Sirstevesguide already has to compete with The Private Universe, a site for UK star wars collectors and I think I'd probably stop coming if the non-us forums were banded together.

This is the non-US Just Found threads activity for the past 30 days:

- JF:Mexico has had NO participation.
- JF:Overseas has had 1 thread responded to, and that was over 2 weeks ago.
- JF:UK has had 7 threads responded to.
- JF:Canada has had 16 threads responded to, half of them are 2 weeks old.

Combined, that's less than 1 full page of threads in a month (each section page shows 25 threads); if you limit it to 2 weeks, that's less than a dozen active threads. That is not an issue hunting and picking between an avalanche of posts.

OK, I'm sorry. I was under the impression that UK was getting a lot, because of all of the forumites that live there. It really wouldn't be that crowded, would it, after all? :)

Okay, why are you rolling your eyes at me?

[Nexu]

Becuase I obviously knew that they would be in seperate threads. Only an Idiot would think otherwise. :rolleyes:

[rynobot]

Why the attitude? Do you think you're cool making other people feel like snot?

And from your orginal post you say that it would be too crowded, I comprehended that you thought that it would be crowded if they were in the same thread.

Did you know that you can post a reply and not be a smart *** at the same time?

[Nexu]

?

well at the moment there isn't much goiing on in the non-us forums but sometimes there really are a lot of threads going on
why change it? does it hurt anybody? (please tell me if it slows down the site or anything cause that's of course not that good then)

Personally I see no problem merging Overseas and the UK. Since a lot of the members Overseas are also getting there stuff at the same time and from the same consignments hasbro wheels out. I buy a lot of stuff from germany for example so might be more inclined to interact with german members in that area. Honk Kong is of interest since a lot of independent traders buy direct from there, what members in HK find will therefore be showing up here not long afterwards.
Given what JT says about a lck of mass traffic, it makes sense to go back to the old way of just Overseas. But if that is the case I suggest a moderator might be needed to keep the whole thing from turning into a mess should it get busy. More of a caretaker than a policer.

after thinking about it I think it ain't that bad if we merge UK and Overseas casuse there really is almost nothing going on in the overseas section
