A Place for other?
I was searching and was wondering if maybe a thread can be made for the people who live out of ZA. Just name it "Others" or something. The location on the forum I am talking about is the thread for provinces. Just as a idea.
In a land of desire your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free
We will sail on, forever on to the land of the evening star
Mate to the wonderful, cute, and lovable Acey

Re: A Place for other?
Personally I don't see a need. There aren't that many furs from overseas here and I doubt you'd use this site to organise overseas events. So I'd say just post the things in the general discussion board. That said Keita will probably do it.

I don't see much of a need for a new sub-forum to be created for this since only a handful of members of this board are from other countries (including me), it would serve no use to us since all the international members are from different regions of the world as the poster above mentioned.
Cheers, Red.

Drakey, if you can tell us why you'd like this subforum, then i'm open to the idea, but i'd like to know why

Re: A Place for other?
I agree with Anoyo on this. If there's a good reason for having such a forum, then I'm not against the idea.

Re: A Place for other?
I dont really see such a need. If it should really be that personal, there is always IM's or the PM feature on the site (and you can message multiple users at once.)
I agree with most here, not exactly sure why we'd need a 'national thread'..

Re: A Place for other?
I dunno, I kinda would be up for it. Why? Well, I know this is supposed to be a SA board, but consider this: You could have it labeled 'Over and Abroad', kind of like an international area where we can discuss things that aren't particularly SA oriented. I know we don't have many members from overseas, but who's to say that ZA Furries isn't going to grow and reach out to other areas of the world? It would still be a SA board, but it would have it's own small area for anyone who doesn't live in the SA area with something to share.It isn't going to take up much space and who knows... seeing things from other areas might make it more diverse and bring the community closer together.
I didn't do it, you didn't see me do it, and you can't prove a thing!!!

But there is an issue that it would become a forum ghost town due to not many uses for it and the members knowing that they might not get many responses from other members if they post in that particular sub-forum and avoid using it anyway.SheWolf wrote:I dunno, I kinda would be up for it.

Re: A Place for other?
The thing is that unless there are suddenly a bunch of foreign furs from a particular place the discussion will be fairly general, not a local thing, so it will fit fine in the discussion section. And if it's something furry related it will go in the furry section. The reigonal is really only used for finding furs from the same area as you are and organising meets with those furs.SheWolf wrote:I dunno, I kinda would be up for it. Why?
