The regional section is just that, a place for you to create all those so thread. Sound more like a thread management concern by the original poster and there I say welcome to what mods do everyday. You just need to start the thread then manage it by gathering all the information and then updating it in the original post (who's coming, who's bringing what, how to get there, etc.). Have the original owner of the thread act as a mod so to say…
I agree with you to a point. The regional section does focus it down...but I don't think it goes far enough. I think regional sections are great for regional events (large gatherings) like pony wars, etc. I think new threads would get overlooked if there were 5 or more groups like ours all creating threads in the same forum. The social groups is a great feature of vbulletin, and seemed like it was going to fit the bill. Then we discovered the limitations. I haven't installed vbulletin before, so I don't know if there are admin settings that can change the behavior, if the new version fixes these limitations, or what. I appreciate that certain threads get "stickied" in the regional forums, but one thread is hard to use with groups like ours (around 50 members).
