Creating New Sub-Forums (or Sub-Sub-Forums)

[JustAnotherObserver]

Greetings,

I wanted to ask how one would go about properly requesting the creation of a new sub-forum.

I have read the posting at : https://www.city-data.com/forum/faq/1...ums-added.html

I think we might be approaching your threshold for creation of a new sub-forum, but as one experienced member pointed out, in the existing forum there are a lot of threads on the topic of the proposed/hoped-for new regional topic area, but those are probably drowned out by a huge number of zero-response new threads.

My thought is that if you are using some computational statistics-driven method to consider when to create new sub-forums in a state forum, in this case, a huge amount of noise might be drowning out an otherwise significant signal.

Some small amount of responses have been gathered in a fairly young thread at:

Yes, this is something that has come up in the NY forum in regards to the lack of a (mid)Hudson Valley(/Catskills) forum. Given that the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown metro is actually a separate metro area in the top 100 and would get quite bit of responses, I don't see why there isn't a mid Hudson Valley/Catskills forum. You also have the Kingston metro area in that portion of the state as well.

I also wonder why Rockland County isn't added in with the Westchester County forum.
