UrbanOhio is a spin off of SSP and took a lot of the "day to day" updates with it but the format seems to work because new members keep coming. Just curious as to whether anything like that was considered for Pittsburgh and if yes/no - why did or didn't it happen? Does anyone moderate the Pittsburgh thread on an active basis or is it on an "as reported" basis? I just wonder if UrbanOhio never materialized - how would things be different?
In about two years, I'll have been an SSP forumer for 20 years and it's interesting to look back and see how our community (architecture/skyscraper/urban geeks) and our outlets to connect with each other have grown and evolved.

Not really.
Philadelphia has its own dedicated message board, Philadelphia Speaks, but it's kind of dead. A lot of urbanist discussion has moved to the UrbanPHL Facebook group. I'm not sure what-all Pittsburghers have. Or peeps from the many smaller cities in the state.
