[esquire]

It's clear that the numbers are pointing towards people wanting a local section, so all I can do at this point is to plead for an Edmonton-style local (which would basically be a single catch-all for everything Winnipeg related) as opposed to a Vancouver-style local with all of its numerous subforums, which in my opinion would be disastrous to the discussion flow.

The latter arrangement would only make sense if there were hundreds or thousands of posts a day and breaking it up was the only way to manage the flow of information... obviously we are far from that level of activity. At any given time there are no more than a few dozen Winnipeg-related threads active in a given month which is easily accommodated in a single forum.
