Okay, since the Tier List thread is getting waaaay off topic with this meta discussion, I will post this new thread.
I know this should be talked about with the administrators and moderators, too, as they need to agree, but I think if we want to do something, we first need at least a concept.
Possibilities for a change are:
Stickying the national threads, and creating some for the countries not having one yet (such as Austria). But that will clutter up the Sticky list... so maybe not as good
OR
Creating and stickying official threads for regions, such as British Isles, France, etc.
OR
Creating one big "collection" thread with all regions listed in them, linking to their respective national threads, national boards (should those exist), Social Groups and whatnot.
OR
Creating subboards for each of the bigger regions, as those which have been named.
I personally think that, as of now, the second or third solutions would be the best. It doesn't split apart the European board into their own subboards. Since so many European regions are hardly active or small (or both lol) with the exception of NL and UK, I think making own subforums would not be helpful at all.
My suggestions:
British Isles (UK, Ireland)
France
Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal)
Scandinavia (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark)
BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourgh)
German Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
Italy
Eastern Europe (I have no idea about those, tbh)
With that we should be able to cover everything.
As said, own subforums probably are overkill.
For the second solution specifically:
Of course the nations would keep their own national threads, no question, but it would be far easier if the regions that are grouped together can exchange easily and don't have to dig up the thread(s).
The OPs just have to basically be a "collection" of important threads for that region, and should be updated regularly, just like in the third solution, but with each region's representative maintaining their threads.
