+Adium Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Looking down through the list and I see that there is no Asian topic. No topic that has anything from China, Japan, Korea, Philippines, nothing..., Are we not worthy to get our own topic? I think China is a little bigger than Germany and they have their own forum!!!!

Keystone Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Forum creation is based largely upon demonstrated need. Germany has thousands more geocachers and geocaches than all of Asia. Someday activity will pick up in Asia to the point that a separate forum is justified. That would make Groundspeak very happy! Until then, feel free to start any Asia-specific threads about geocaching topics here in the "All Nations" forum. Quote Link to comment
aneles Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I second that, Adium. It seems that just in Japan we have 1500+ caches and counting, and Greece, which only has 400+ has its own forum. Seems like we could at least get one for the whole of Asia. Quote Link to comment
+sparkomatic1972 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 and the Arabian peninsula has one and we dont? I know you cant make everybody happy... Quote Link to comment

Yeah, but Greece is so much, um, Greece-ier. On a seriuos note, I agree wholeheartedly. Many of us here on Okinawa travel to other parts of Asia on a regular basis, and it would be nice to be able to network with other cachers in Asia...Hmmm; sounds like a "demonstrated need."

I would say on the average the asian cacher typically ignores or doesn't post to the forum. That would likely be the deciding factor. If we post more often then the area will require its own list -- just to separate the traffic Quote Link to comment
+sparkomatic1972 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 anyone else notice that Luxembourg has its own forum...seriously? Quote Link to comment
+Cnois Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, I think the language is a big problem... But we can use our language here (I saw many language in other topics). No ignores and post more to the forum, then it makes change?? Quote Link to comment
aneles Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well, here in Japan, most caches speak a little English. I don't think I've seen a cache listing yet that isn't posted in both Japanese and English. That's a lot more courtesy that's shown than say, in Germany. Anyway, there's nothing to stop people from posting in their native language as well. These forums seem to accept character packs. Quote Link to comment
golfgunny Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 anyone else notice that Luxembourg has its own forum...seriously? I noticed that as well. But hey; there's like 4 threads there! At least we have cacheoki to use here. Quote Link to comment
+US Citizen Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Let me jump on the bandwagon too. I doubt it would be very difficult to add another region Asia. Maybe it's just me but I thought this would be a no brainer. Do the right thing and create Asia (region). Quote Link to comment
+Cnois Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 That would be great to be able to have "ASIA" region. And I believe we can do it. Asian MEGA Event... sounds good?! Quote Link to comment
+TOSY Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 "Asia region" forum sounds great! The time is ripe for action. Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You asked: it is now done: Happy New Year! Please visit the brand new forum just for Asia. Quote Link to comment
