Wow Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I wanted to make you all aware that we have agreed to allow a new regional sub-forum for the Tennessee Valley region. We have Patrick (Mr Bob) back on-board staff to take the helm as the first moderator. As you know, this forum is dominated by us folks east of the Apps and our hope is to allow members from the TN valley region feel more open to participate in discussions Please keep in mind that everyone is free to participate in ANY regional forum.. we certainly don't want to build up any walls from other folks. Enjoy the new forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillT Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 TY, this is a great addition to this forum, for indeed OFTEN the weather east of the appalachians hits over here FIRST.....and most of the comments in the past from the east IGNORE what happens here.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think we need a Georgia/Alabama forum, since our weather is often very different than the Carolina's. Actually I think part of NW Georgia is in the Tennessee Valley so I guess the TN Valley forum would include GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think part of NW Georgia is in the Tennessee Valley so I guess the TN Valley forum would include GA How about rip BWI / MD from the Midatlantic forum and make them their own Sub, put NC/ VA / N GA and N SC into a midatlantic subforum. This leaves a Gulf subforum for S AL/ S GS / S SC / FL leaving Tennessee as their own subforum to discuss bad whisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm thinking AL and MS should pretty much all be included in the TN Valley, if we're making this switch. It makes no sense for northern AL and MS to be in the TN Valley, and put the southern portions of those states in with the rest of the SE. The Gulf Coast regions have hardly anything in common with NC, SC, VA, and northern GA. If we're going to make this split, we might as well make it along logical lines. Or... We go ahead and create the Gulf Coast forum that others have suggested: the southern portions of LA, AL, MS, GA, and then all of FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 ok so how much did mr bob have to pay out to bribe the admins?

pcbjr Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Whatever happens, please don't get the good mets and posters all segregated into one geographic local, and then leave us bumbling fools out here in another region to figure out in what direction the sun rises and then sets!

We don't draw lines based on state lines, rather on climate zones. No one is being fenced off from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think we should have a subforum for northern Mecklenberg County and one for the southern part of the county, but sharing with parts of Gastonia. A third subforum could cover northeast Wake County, excluding Wake Forest, which has more in line with central Wake County and thus should be part of that subforum. Durham should be separated out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
