What I like about Rebreather World is that its so global, open minded (except for those dodgy saffers) and accepting.
If people want to organise local dives/buddies, let them specify a location in their message title. Maybe we've got divers from the UK visiting asia, who wouldnt see the advert otherwise.....
Erm... er... I going to regret this
But I agree with Zak on this one.
The beauty of Rebreather World and its biggest strong point over other forums is that it is global and has been from day one. Looking at the members map the spread of members does not really appear to have a particular concentration area that stand out from the rest. We're just global in every way
By starting to split forums down into location I think the streamlining that the site has in terms of the number of forums could get complicated. And to be honest where do you stop? America gets split into 4 areas, Oz into the same because of their sizes - what about Canada then and Europe. It could just get mad with a forum for each area.
If appears to have worked for over a year fantastic the way it is. People have been meeting up and diving regularly together. You have certainly had all the guys up in erm... was it Finland or Norway (sorry if wrong location - but the one with all the ice
) and there's been Cedric and Meg guys out in SEA, and then there's all us lot over here.
Like Zak said, maybe a forum policy for posting in the buddy wanted area is to state area/ location at the start of the thread title. Maybe:
Vobster, UK - Sunday 2nd July - Buddy Wanted/ Bimble Dive
I do agree with Zak, and I'm not a grumpy twat
