With forum participation from all over the globe, researching pricing & shipment costs to our personal local global area/region, "if available to", is challenging enough on the web (& Will's youtube), without having it all buddled into one global section on here.
E.g. Many items discussed, such as EG4, is unfortunately either cost prohibitive, or unavailable globally, incl Australia.
Which in itself is odd considering the "free" (or affiliate) global marketing they receive, yet haven't expanded.
Searching simple terms like "Australia", doesn't really net realistic results, as they may have simply used Au, their local suburb, state, supplier, or nothing relevant at all to their location, yet the thread contains helpful info for others also residing in the same area.
Having a section for every country would be nuts, but if "Global Region" sections ?
Also might assist with other things, like local face to face catch-ups, lending a hand, items for trade/sale/free, etc.
The Cons;
More forum sections making the homepage look even more overwhelming (perhaps there's some rarely used, could be combined).
Whilst the initial intension of the thread was local, it could "perhaps" turn into something that could have included global discussion.
Someone actioning whatever required to set it up.
E.g.
Asia Pacific/Oceania (Australia, China, Indonesia, New Zealand, Sth Pacific Islands, Philippines)
Europe/Central Asia
North America (incl Mexico, Canada)
South America (incl Caribbean areas etc)
Middle East
South Asia (India, Pakistan, surrounding)
Another Option perhaps, one main "Gobal Regions (Area) Discussions" title, when opened it has regional threads to enter, view, post, however no other threads can be created (excl admin of course).
Cheers! ?
