A fourm for the EU!

JBoyle4eva

Today, we get 10 new countries(i.e. member staes) in the EU(European Union). It would be great if boards.ie celebrated that with the opening of the EU as a main fourm, with a drop down fourm for each country in the new EU! That would be:
Austria
Belguim
Cyprus
Czech Replublic
Denmark
Estonia
Germany
Greece
Finland
France
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Poland
Pourtugal
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweeden
The Netherlands
United Kingdom

On each forum, we copuld talk about the country's coulture, langauge, current affairs and maybe some tips if your visiting that country e.g. Sightings, vaccinations you need etc.

I think that this fourm should definitely go ahead as we're all one big community that just got a whole lot bigger!

Nice idea, but it's not going to happen.

Ah how happy clappy! It won't happen as it would entail too many new boards which lets face it would be largely moribund after a week or two.

It does seem a bit of overkill!

JBoyle4eva

Well then about a EU fourm on the Society dropdown?

Funky

No thanks

Without all the countries, just one dedicated to all 25 EU states?

To talk about what, exactly?

JBoyle4eva

Just general EU current affairs and maybe the referendums on EU decisions, the culture of other member staes and the travelling to Europe!

Not sure if it'll get any traffic, but I reckon that if there were discussion about the Union, most of it would be politically related. So it would seem best as a child forum of Politics. But again, I'm not sure there's enough traffic to warrant it. IMHO.

Abroad/After Hours/Humanities (depending on what you're discussing)

Travel/Holidays

It'd just be another underused board taking traffic away from other boards

Anyone who asks to be mod usually doesn't get to be.

sionnach

ah but you see victor he/she never directly asked to be mod, he/she only enquired as to whether or not he/she would be made mod. Will i be made mod, not CAN i be made mod. He/She is obviously exceedingly cunning

Raphael

As cunning as a fox what used to be professer of cunning at Oxford University, and is now retired and works for the UN in the department of cunning plans?

(couldnt resist)

ecksor

This suggestion certainly seems a tad vague ...
