OK, people keep bringing up the ccTLD sections. Some of them are good - they get a lot of traffic (.us, .ca, etc..) while others don't see much action (.jp, .nl) but the question(s) is (are):

1) Do we eliminate all of them - annoying those who do use them (and annoying the people who like to post different sales in each section)?
2) Do we only eliminate some of them? Where would the cutoff be? How would the people who deal in .de (one of the most popular ccTLDs) if that section was eliminated because of the small amount of traffic? What about .mobi and .tel? .tv?
3) Do we leave them as-is and annoy the people who don't want them around saying it clutters up the forums?
4) Do we expand them to include many more ccTLDs - while making people who deal in .mx, .vz, and .bz domains happy but cluttering it up for everyone else?

The same exact thing could easily be said about the ccTLD discussion forums.

To add on, we have many subforums that don't see alot of traffic, for example http://www.dnforum.com/f479/ hasn't seen a post in over a year (and it only has two posts).

I'm sure Adam and Chuck are reading this thread so I'm sure they'll also listen (well, read) any constructive critisim / suggestions about these subforums, too.
Ed,

In reality DNF has enough clout to open up these forums and make hay while the sun shines. I'm sure you're aware that the .uk ccTLD is 10% as large as the .com arena. That is a LOT of potential bums on seats here.
