City Construction Threads

[frinkprof]

Since we have this brand new forumand aren't bogged down by BC stuff and to a lesser extent Manitoba and Saskatchewan stuff, I figure there is the potential to focus on other cities in Alberta. I think Red Deer, Grande Prairie, and Fort McMurray could have threads. Lethbridge and Medicine Hat are probably other possibilities. I know I would love to see what is going on in these cities, especially Lethbridge since I grew up there.

So I guess this is an open letter to any forumers from those cities that would want to help organize and add to those threads.

Any additional ideas or comments?

You can still have sticky threads of the major cities sure, you'll just have space to create threads to zero in on specific subjects too.

I'll suggest what I did in the other thread.

Calgary Construction
Edmonton Construction
Rest of Alberta Construction

My reasons are thus: there are hardly any forumers from the rest of Alberta in the first place (though there are a few) and we really don't know much about their construction. Of course, we would also need someone from the rest of Alberta to manage the thread and its contents, such as how Feepa and I do for the Edmonton and Calgary threads (respectively).

We could of course break it up into more cities if the numbers warrant it.

Lets include a Canmore/Banff/Lake Louise thread also!

I like Boris's idea. If a city in the Rest of Alberta Construction thread becomes to dominate, it then can get it's own sticky.

[frinkprof]

Yeah, I guess I might be jumping the gun a bit. I think this new forum might encourage people from the smaller centres to join, and once there is the initiative to make these threads from people who live there, they will happen on their own.

[JBinCalgary]

yeah, thats a good idea boris

[Bassic Lab]

I'd say just keep the two main cities a sticky construction threads for now. Other cities might get stickies if they warrant them at a later date of course. I just don't see a Rest of Alberta thread working to well, it would involve too many disparate areas and people and really lack basic cohesion.

Canadian Centaur can kind of like maintain Grande Prairie's thread? *shrug*

i got edson taken care of..

Calgary Construction: Edmonton Construction: Greater Alberta Construction: Obviously Greater Alberta won't have much info, but as time goes on you never know!! I wonder what "Shadowing" laws they have in Lethbridge or Medicine Hat!! Snip-snip....

Should we make a sticky for LRT construction as well? Those seem to be constant hot topics around here as well...?

You've got my vote.

Grumble: it would have been nice to have a message saying something like "we've re-organized our forums" or what have you. "Invalid forum specified" indeed. Now I have to change all my bookmarks that pointed to the old "western canada" area.

On the bright side, peggers can be happy that they won't have Calgary being yapped about on their threads quite so often now. :haha:

[feepa]

Drove to work and thought about this for some reason. Morning commutes make you think about weird things.
*Calgary / Edmonton construction threads
*ROA
*LRT Cal/Edm
*YEG/YYC
everything else none sticky.

^ I agree with this structure. Those were very hot topics in the old forum and it is only fair that they be stickies as well.

If the masses agree with this, Shall new threads be created (I then can move anything related out of the Edmonton sticky in to LRT/ YEG) etc.

I think a poll is in order...

[Boris2k7]

A poll would be good. I think we can just sticky the current threads though, and just start up new ones when they hit 2000.
