My brain needs an overhaul! I read "On the way is Maryland broken down into it's main subsections, Connecticut, and Virginia. ", and I thought to myself, "how the hell are Connecticut and Virginia subsections of Maryland!!" I almost asked about it.

Anyway, thanks for all the additions!

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.

Too much?

you mean you didn’t realize that Connecticut is the capital of Maryland, and Virginia is the largest city?

NVM just found the Watched Forums option I will now be using

@topjimmy - Really appreciate the effort to create new forums. Unfortunately, it is a bit overwhelming and disorienting. Is there a way to sort the presentation of forums for the individual user? If a user-specified sort order can't be provided, would it be possible to sort them by volume of posts or alphabetically? I hate having to scroll through forums I'm not interested in to get to the ones I frequent. Or maybe I just haven't figured out how to customize the site for myself yet. Just my 2cents. Thanks

Well, as I said above, the new ones will be at the top for a period of time then drop down to their correct placement which will be based on volume of posts as you mentioned. A site upgrade coming very soon includes a layout change that might make it easier for you. In the meantime, sorry for that inconvenience of having to scroll down. I get it.

Manhattan could really be broken up into Upper, Midtown and Lower. There are so many spa up there, it is easy for there to be information overload. It isn't like if you're in the Lower part you're not going to be interested in heading all the way to Upper. I don't think East and West need to be broken down. Those 3, I think would be just fine.

Thank you for reverting back to the old format after you select the area! It really makes scrolling so much easier, by seeing the title of the latest post
