Nope!!! I like the momentum that has taken place which would not have happened if you did not return. I do think having more mods that share your same vision with the same way of getting there is helpful to balance the load with you as an owner. @hhnyc77 has been great to deal with as well. I don't know the other mods to comment on them.
Thanks for breaking out Philly Burbs into its own area. One further suggestion, combine the new Harrisburg/Carlisle and Lancaster/York groups. This is a good time to make the change since there are no postings in the Lanc/York group. Title the combined group something like “Harrisburg / Lanc / York. Alternate title could be PA - South/Central. thanks again for the updates and all you do.
Update: Washington DC now has it's own forum. Georgia is now on the map, with a number of subsections primarily Atlanta and suburbs of Atlanta.
Just so everyone knows, new geographic areas will be at the top of the forums list on the homepage for the first 90 days then they'll be moved down.
On the way is Maryland broken down into it's main subsections, Connecticut, and Virginia.
What else am I missing?
By the way, major update to the site coming. Most of it will improve site stability and background stuff, but there will be a handful of tweaks to enhance the user experience as well. One of those being better search functionality, which has been asked for here more than once. Well, it's coming.
So, speak up mongers!! If there are geographic areas in the US that are still sorely represented and have an awesome and vibrant AMP scene, lay it out there for me. As someone said on another thread, it's not time consuming to add forums. The only complexity is getting the custom review form attached to the review forums. Again, not time consuming. The only delay before was my extended absence. The only other reason we would hesitate in adding a geographic area is that we want to be relatively certain we would get enough activity to make it valuable for readers. A hopping AMP scene doesn't necessarily mean everyone is gonna find this place and start prolifically sharing all their experiences. Yes, you gotta start somewhere but then again a dead forum or a forum with only a few posts doesn't send a great message to a brand new person who stumbled on to this site looking for intel. They might go to their town and find very little info and move along to never come back.....so that's a consideration although a very minor one because it does take time to build a wealth of information and something is better than nothing at all.
