Im Back Lol

just my opinion here,

If you split, you are always gonna make someone unhappy.

I always thought there are too many states in this section, but its not like we get a ton of threads going on here. Its been like this for so long, if more people could name the state before the thread, I think that would help a little bit.

Its not too hard to just scan through the threads.
I would also like a smaller group, but i dont think it would make much of a differance.

the problem here is too many small states, with too many wierd shapes, in which parts of states are closer to some than others

western NY is closer to northern PA and OH
SE PA closer to DE and MD
PA next to NJ
one can go on and on here

My vote is to leave it the way it is.

i agree with goofy

good idea...

I think we should do a poll

I'm up for a split. I also like the idea of subsections and cross linking posts/threads (where applicable).

I still have my FC in Upstate/Eastern NY, but now reside in Southern/Central PA.
The NE forum as it sits now is just too vast.

A poll sounds good.

NY is really the big problem state here and should be split in several places and not considered as a whole

Just an input, the way my company defines the divisions is North Atlantic Upper = Maine, NH, VT, MA, CT and Upstate NY (Kingston to Plattsburgh)

Then we have a North Atlantic Central which includes NYC, NJ, Eastern PA

Then North Atlantic Lower is Maryland and below and there is a Midwest Central region which has that Western NY, Western PA, OH and other states in that area

You always have to provide an exclusion for the NYC guys because for some reason driving an hour and a half in traffic to go 15 miles is not the same as driving an hour and a half in no traffic to go 90 miles, and the CT guys that are in that southern tear drop can just join into that North Atlantic Central forum since they communicate mostly with that group and the guys in western CT would be part of North Atlantic Upper
we can use different names im sure but thats just my two cents

Split them up so each state has its own subsection =D

i think this is a very good idea. there is just to many of us on this forum:icon_tup:

I can say future "nashua" representation. let the rotary's come out!!!!!

I concur Id love to hit up a few meets but i find a lot of them are indeed too far away

I like the idea of a New england forum. There is always the option of looking at the other section if you want to go to meets in that area. The new england posts really do get hidden amongst the NJ and NY posts. as well as the other states that are too far away for us to get to for meets.

i could go either way with the way it is or a split, but i have never had a problem finding relevant threads. if i had to vote, i'd say keep it. post up a poll.

i like 2 wankle's idea but have to include the south part of mass beacuse is close tu us and any way is like part of conn in rotary means.

I propose the following breakdown:

New England section: ME/MA/NH/RI/VT
NY Metropolitan Area: NY/NJ/CT/PA
Ohio should be moved to Mid-West

The Mid-Atlantic States should be moved to another area, possibly SE.
Mid-Atlantic: MD/VA/WV

I vote a breakout into two as well.

NE - Everything north of NY
MA - Mid-Atlantic, VA,MD,DE,NJ,East PA
Move West PA and OH into a western forum

It's like 5 hours from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh right? And nothing inbetween...

New York is the problem cause it should be part of CT and part of NJ.

I like the NE forum idea:icon_tup:

I like the "New England" "tri state" breakdown

good idea
 

NE should be for New England states only...

New england , Tri states , and the DMV. Im down to take PA and WV... lol since when is ohio even close to the east coast?

i like the idea also

Excuse me admin... this topic and the season is coming up... the meets are getting gaggled together... can we please split this stuff up soon?

New England section: ME/MA/NH/RI/VT
NY Metropolitan Area: NY/NJ/CT/PA
Ohio should be moved to Mid-West


or can we get some type of reply?

there are now 9 stickies and more to come with all of the events that keep going on...
my suggestion:
-new england
-new york metro
-DC metro

Ya i really like the idea of splitting up. it would be nice to see how many people we could get to do a local meet( like 4 or 5 hr drive) Im not sure how many people we would see here in vermont... i think theres three of us but i know the guys around here pretty well and they have been talking about seeing if we could get a meet closer to us because its too far of a drive to go and farther than true New England areas.

And i vote poll!

i say go with the new setup, got to separate the New England area from the Tri-State.
