New subforums for the Greater Caribbean area?

[El Orans]

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

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

Let me rephrase that...

What a great concept! Imagine getting feedback and trying to find out what will actually work well. Some would have merely split it North/South.

Hmmmm.....

North Bermuda...

South Bermuda....

As many subforums as there are 12 people!!!

I love it!

Bermuda? Caribbean, not Bermuda.

How about their official name for the groupings: Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles...this is Wikipideas definition of the Antilles:

The Antilles are divided into two major groups: the "Greater Antilles" to the north including the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico; and the smaller "Lesser Antilles" on the southeast — comprising the northerly Leeward Islands, the southeasterly Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles just north of Venezuela. The Bahamas, though part of the West Indies, are generally not included among the Antillean islands.

The simplest idea is the most often ignored. As in post #10

Thanks RoatanMan! I'm a firm believer in KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)!
I think El Orans also figuered this out.

Seems we went with the "simple" idea and then lumped in something that makes little sense. I hate to break it to you folks, but The Cayman Islands are not a part of the Greater Antilles.

This image seems to indicate otherwise: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...sIslands.png/800px-GreaterAntillesIslands.png

Personally, I liked the previous screen better. And, the Caymans are not part of any Antilles.........:>(

This probably goes against my previous posts, but what about separating them out by activity level. This would likely mean that Cayman and ABC Islands get their own subforum under Greater Caribbean and Bermuda and all the other islands fall under Greater or Lesser Antilles accordingly.
