I will set a poll. I suggest a very simple one - how about:

Would you use a separate BeoWorld forum for Asia should one be set up? It would be an English language forum and would plan to cover issues specific to the Asian area.

The answers could be:

Yes, I think this would be very useful.

No, I prefer using the General Forum.

I would prefer a different type of forum.

Would you change anything or add another question? I would suggest we need a minimum response and a positive vote in favour to make the changes. I would suggest that the forum needs about 20 active members to flourish.

I would like a B&o Asia forum but I don't think it would be popular. I think it maybe nice to have it and it could snow ball into a bigger forum. B&O is harder to come by and it would be good to have more people to share resource and see more in the classified section.

I agree that it may require more time but would be worth having an Asia forum to attract members and share information amongst existing ones.  I can certainly also inform my friends in the Korean B&O forum that I established (we have close to 1500 members) 

I think we should shrink the amount of forums...

I visit Beoworld pretty much everyday, but recently there's very few posts, even on the General forum, making more and more "sub" forums, will make us users lost, and what we will end up with is questions, and interesting discussions being lost in the ever growing fora of more and more specific topic/region forums.

Since english would be the language of choice for the Asia forum, then why isn't the general forum enough? It has the most visitors, and posts, the odds of a topic will flourish there is the highest.

Sorry, to the OP, but I'm hard pressed to see the reason for an Asia forum. Surely things regarding our beloved B&O can't be that much different over there? 

For instance my other favorite forum, "The Rolex Forums", does not have region specific forums, instead very little if no attention is put towards establishing where it's users are located, and concentrates the "general questions" and topics to the general discussion forum. This works very well.

It sounds like a fine idea...however, I imagine that I would continue to source my answers and pose questions to the wealth of knowledge that frequents the General Forum.

One of the reasons for the fewer postings is a software problem that particularly affects those with high post accounts. This is the reason I now post as Doctor and not Peter!! We are about to sort this, at least on a temporary basis so hopefully traffic will go back to normal levels. I think queries are still being answered promptly though so don't be afraid to post!

If there already is a Korean forum, albeit elsewhere, would not the setting up of a rival forum on Beoworld be a little unfriendly? I would have thought the establishment of a link would possibly be a better route so that queries needing wider participation can come here. If you have set up such a forum, it would seem a shame to possibly diminish it.
