Regional or Country based Forums? - Supply Chain Focus - Discussion Forum - Supply Chain & Logistics Online Community

I like the layout of the Board and the range of topics. Makes it easy to find areas of interest.

But, it might also be an idea to have Country or Region based forums. That way people could discuss specific issues with those in the same country.

What do you think?

Rob. I had thought of that, but it might lead to a lot of duplication of topics.

I'll keep an eye on it and if there is significant demand, we'll review it again.

Country or regionally based forums might be nice, but I agree they could get very confusing with lots of duplication issues. For example the same topic could be discussed in a number of seperate forums.

I agree. Can we keep the forums topic rather than geography based.

Definately keep the forums 'non geographic'. That will encourage interaction and exchange of ideas across borders. Otherwise we'll end up with cliques of members just doscussing their own regions. Just my view of course :-) Keep up the good work Top Link.

Also agree. Non geographic is the best, otherwise the board will break up into Regional 'cliques'.

I tend to agree, so we'll keep it that way for the foreseeable future.
