Prompted by some of the clubs, we've created some new State based forums, with the blessings of the official associations of NSW, VIC & QLD.

We're hoping these new forums will provide an excellent focused area for the everybody to discuss state issues, and further the excellent work the associations already do.

It's all about making great sports better! Yee-haaaaaaa!

To infinity & beyond!

p.s. The first question might be "where's Windsurfing WA?" .. they declined the offer!

and why is tassie allways left out [}:)]

Windsurfing SA?

and why is tassie allways left out

That's put the cat amongst the pidgeons!

These two were not included because I was unable to location an actual Windsurfing body for SA / Tas (or NT) ?

It's not like eveyone is going to stop using their [windsurfing wa] forum.

WWA don't currently have a forum?

Don't get me started!

Cant we have our own section?

Yeah i reckon we need a Windsurfing SA section. Theres a few guys organising some events around the place here so theres clearly some sort of an 'organisation' i think.

Bubs

dog gone it whats this delete box next to my post is that a hint , well i wont remove it i tell you mr to infinity and beyond yer ive seen toy story one and two and i no your laser dosent work , how about we have a thumb wrestle i win tassie gets its own forum , i dont know what for , you win ill shut up o have a look a this site coastveiw now where did i put that flame suite cheers lozza ,bazz

nice work lozza.....

C'mon, Tassie forum please ...., there's a few of us down here, might get people posting a bit more on locations and where to go when it's blowing ...

Looks like what was intended to be a good thing has opened a whole tin of worms!

The issues so far:
* Request for SA
* Request for NT
* Request for TAS
* Can they all be turned off?
* Someone has already been flamed for posting a QLD topic in General.

Here's our reasoning:

- We believe busy forums are best, so we will look at SA/TAS/NT if there is good usage of the new state forums. Not keen on having a forum with 3 posts in 3 months. We've done this before, and it just waste peoples time.

- We do hope that "state related" talk might move into these new forums, (but it doesn't have to) .. the point being that folks can freely talk about local stuff without "getting in the way" of mainstream traffic, but unless momentum builds up, that might just end up dead...crazy as it sounds, for many, it's simply too hard to navigate from the "General" to another category.

How about we let it run for a while and see how it goes?

Didnt I request this a while ago Loz? Wheres our WA section?

p.s. The first question might be "where's Windsurfing WA?" .. they declined the offer!

Apparently there was a misunderstanding .. Windsurfing WA now has it's own forum!

Enjoy .. Lozzzzzzzzza

So its been a while. I think it has been significantly slower in General since the change, although it is probably seasonal as well.
What do you all think now?

state forums suck the big one!

bring back the fishing forum!!!!!!!

I actually preferred it before the state separation, can understand the separation of GPS from general though

Its great this way. The best this site has ever been
I dont read the GPS section and I dont have to see banana bending flat water Train or Shearwater threads posted every second thread.
This sport has many different angles to approach it with.
Segregation is great
Next thing you blokes want is to get the teabaggers involved
