[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Have you thought about opening up DCUM like forums in other areas? We are thinking about relocating to Atlanta and the closest thing we can find is city-data which is much different than DCUM.

Offshoot of this question, how much time does it take to run/mod something like DCUM? I assume thats a major factor in opening up forums for other cities.[/quote]

We constantly think about opening DCUM's elsewhere. However, my concept is not to open an entirely new site, but to branch off from this one. I am working on another way of organizing forums so that we can have more of them. Then, I will probably create regional forums so, for instance, people from the West coast can have their own forum. Then, if sufficient traffic builds up, we can create, for instance, Los Angeles and San Francisco forums. Then, sub-categorize them as demands calls for it.

It's a lot of time but adding new forums doesn't necessarily mean more time.

Please do. Pretty please.  It would be a lot easier to justify not being able to kick my habit if I still had local forums![/quote]

I absolutely won't hold you to this, but can you give an estimate of a time-frame? When do you foresee being able to roll this out? Is there anything we can do to help?

I would guess it could be at least a year. But, what you can do now is start San Francisco-related threads in our current forums where appropriate. For instance, Off-Topic, Politics, etc. Even something like Restaurants might work. If you are sure to reference San Francisco in the subject, local posters will know to ignore it (though they might post asking why you are posting on a DC-centric website). Then, spread the word in San Francisco. The best way to get us to do things is to generate a lot of traffic.

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities and I'd love it to be one of our first, if not the first, city to which to spread.

The other PP, though not, sadly, in SF.

Can you tell what kind of traffic you're getting from other cities / relative amounts of views from other places?  And curious if you have any sense if this is from folks finding it on their own or from DC transplants.[/quote]
