Edmonton Mod, since you seem to be more attuned to members' wishes and needs than some of your predecessors, I'll try this idea on you this time.
This "Other Canada Reviews" section would work much better if each of Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg had their own "General Discussion" section. The Alberta crowd tend to dominate the General Discussion now and treat it as if it's their own bailiwick. As a result, the Winnipeg members tend to post non-review items in the Winnipeg Review section because they're more likely to be read by other Winnipeggers there. This tends to clutter the board and encourages hijacking of threads.
Surely replacing the one General Discussion section with four would not increase bandwidth much, if at all, since the total number of posts isn't likely to change much. You've also saved a huge amount of bandwidth by deleting the porno pics threads.
Please give this idea due consideration. I believe it would help to keep thye board better organized.
