New subforums for the Greater Caribbean area?

[H2Andy]

We'll keep the existing forums, add a few new ones.

cool ... well... the existing forums seem to be based on "most popular" destinations, so i would suggest adding a few more forums along those lines, with the emphasis being on what places are popular but don't have a forum of their own.

i would suggest the following new forums, based on number of posts about them:

1. Cozumel
2. Belize and Bay Islands (Roatan, Utila)
3. U.S. and British Virgin Islands
4. Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic

and do away with the Bermuda forum, since it's so seldom used

1. Cozumel's in Mexico currently.
2. Belize/Bay Islands are in Central America currently.

Do they belong in the Caribbean Forum instead? just asking....

Also isn't Bermuda technically in the Atlantic? Oh wait, maybe that's why it's "Greater Caribbean and Bermuda"

 

[H2Andy]

there are quite a few questions about Cozumel in the Caribbean forum, that's why i mentioned it. same for Belize/Bay Islands.

Bermuda is indeed in the Atlantic

The idea is that if an island is part of a mainland country, then it is placed in that country's forum.

 

[H2Andy]

ok... then just 3 and 4 and do away with Bermuda

I agree with this.....and like Andy said earlier give some of the more traveled dive destinations Saba, Tobago, T&C their own sub forums...

but now what about the small islands... an eastern caribbean forum is definately needed. look at how many posts contain st lucia, st vincent,grenada,dominica,st kitts....etc

 

[fjsala]

So?... where are we on this?

 

[El Orans]

The current design looks like this:

Bahamas

Bermuda

Greater Antilles
--Trips and Local Marketplace... Greater Antilles
--Calendar
--Cayman Islands
--Turks & Caicos (maybe)

Lesser Antilles
--Trips and Local Marketplace... Lesser Antilles
--Calendar
--ABC Islands

Any comments?

Ah! ....then Bermuda is in the wrong place....it should be in the UK Wreck Ferrets!
