I have been trying to get them to for ages; since the first time the site came back up. Truth be told I do not really need it for the information nor a place to review as I have another place that I call home where 98% of my posts are and boards exist that are also regional to these areas , Montreal for one, Costa Rica for one, the list goes on.
I want it more for making new contacts as several guys I have gotten PMs from on here want to meet up in Europe or go to Colombia etc so it would serve for me as a ' meet and greet' for cyberspace to expand my friends who travel and a TX travel buddy wouldn't be so bad to count on for quick weekend trips ( 3-5 days) to C America or Colombia mainly.
I ask myself too why there is no Canada section especially since ECCIE has a huge NY contingency and those guys depending where upstate they are will hit Toronto, Montreal and Niagra is very popular. Windsor is a great place too just cross the bridge ( or thru the tunnel) from Detroit; been there many times.
Why a Mexico forum was built when it is truly far from a ' real destination' I have no clue and so many forums ! Most of those places have little to no action and the guys use Facebook, Instagram or the local classifieds to find pussy...
In theory the amount of time they took to manually add the sub forums for Mexico they could have done one simple ' Mexico-Reviews/Discussion' and in lieu of adding monger ghost towns all over MX added the same for Europe, Asia, C/S America, Canada, as just about all main places such as Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Holland would be covered, Thailand/Hong Kong/Macau/Philippines as well as the two areas of Brazil and four in Colombia, Argentina and now emerging Santiago. The Caribbean as well, two parts of Jamaica are active, St Maartan ( Dutch side) is an incredible place to go, Cuba is FAST emerging, the islands off Venezuela
would need to add Dubai in as well...tons of hot E.E.'s there!
All this could easily be done literally in 30 minutes or less so time is far from the issue ( look at the time wasted on MX); this software can allow for the addition of forums/sub forums VERY easily as I did it myself in 2006 and the software is 12 years advanced (both V Bulletin and Invision)
One reason may be that nobody on the staff has a clue about international mongering and/or there is no money in it for them. Moderation would be almost unneeded, in general the trolls can't even afford to go abroad and are idiots to begin with!
No need to split the continents in to countries either, just let the forum run and guys can ' SEARCH' under the continent...
