Congrats on your own SSP local section. While I am glad to see the movement going, I am kinda dissapointed Vancouver isn't unique anymore (again).

anyways, hope you all find it as nice as I, and several other Vancouverites have.

I admit that Halifax is probably one of the last cities I'd have expected to get a "local". I suppose the goal is to boost the forumer numbers for the Atlantic region. Hope all goes well.

Well, there seems to be a good number of new Haligonians (such as myself) joining discussions here on SSP. We must have one of the higher forumer per capita ratios on the forum!

Wahoo!

So exactly what does it take to get a "local" section? Neither Toronto or Montreal have one. Toronto has a sub-forum in the Ontario section though. So yes, Vancouver, but why Halifax? Don't get me wrong, I don't see any problems with a local Halifax forum, I just don't see why it gets special treatment. Vancouver seems obvious, just because of the sheer volume of development in that city.

It's not really a preference, it's about the community being receptive to the SSP:Local forum design. Some cities don't want it while others do.

If you want to nominate a city just send me a message.

Thanks a lot, Mike! This is pretty cool

Glad you like it. I hope this brings more people from Halifax out of the woodworks and participating!

I nominate Ottawa. We've got our projects thread, plus the airport thread, the light rail thread... make it a one-stop shop for us Eastern Ontarians!

Totally agree. I really hope this sparks even more discussion with new users joining, and possibly interest other forumers from accross the country to check us out.

I think it's generally good. One nice difference is that it will be much easier to keep track of individual projects now. The old project thread was kind of unwieldy.

The Atlantic Canada section won't have as much discussion but then again there are far more forumers from other parts of the region than there used to be.

Yea, there are so many new people from Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton. Its great to see!

Now it's time for the almighty Moncton to get its own section.
