I'm just wondering why is Wicklow in the east section

This is the point in this thread where my brain started hurting. Every word since (especially petals') brought more pain.

Just glance at a map of Ireland already.

First of all i cant believe i've managed to read 35 posts on this pointless topic, although for some sort of reason i feel the need to comment on it...

This thread is the most worthless piece of web space in history.

IMO
The whole point of allocating "Wicklow" to a specific region is so that anyone who wants to either read or discuss something about wicklow will know were to go...

And from what i've gathered, everyone who remotely cares (well care is the probably wrong word but you know what i mean) about wicklow, has probably commented on this thread already... therefore the thread itself has solved the initial problem.

everyone now knows that wicklow is in the east region now, which means we will go to "east region" to find/post on wicklow threads....

just lock this thread and stop this farcical debate....

if you want it locked it so bad, become an admin and do it yourself.

well then your both wrong

I don't think so.. Look at the map.. Draw lines of North-South, East-West.
Wicklow can be both.. North Wicklow is East
South Wicklow eg: Arklow is South East

This thread is getting pathetic.. Everyones opinion differs and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

It is possible that counties can be referred to as two different things.. it is possible for drogheda to be referred to as east and north-east.

and it's not just that "locals may find this cute"
It's on the friggin map.. Dublin is east.. any thing else can be considered south-east or east or north-east or east.

Anyway what's the big deal about it. All I asked was why was wicklow considered east when it could be either..

I could of Quite as easily asked why does Greystones get it's own section?!

From a Cork perspecitve then Waterford could be put into the North East forum, Kerry into a new North North West forum & Donegal into a North North North North North West forum.


* heads to Forums forum to request regional forums by county-specific perspective *

Greystones & Charlesland (to give the forum its proper name) has its own section because it pre-exists the Wicklow forum and if you care to take a look at the figures, it gets more post than Dublin North, Dublin South, Kildare and the Wicklow Fora Combined. Greystones & Charlesland was originally a Hosted Forum and was moved by the Admins to the Regional category due primarily to the volume of traffic, I think.

I can't believe I just read all that:eek:

Everything's grand the way it is.

Why were we given directions? Why cant we all just get along?
