To date, we have not set up regional sections of the forum but if there is a large enough group it might merit consideration. That said, most of the content about mechanical and tech issues is already housed in other sections of the board so a regional section might focus on regulatory issues, and local places.

Hi Janet,
I am active in aviation (where PPRuNe is dominating) and
electric cars, specifically Tesla (where TeslaMotorsClub is dominating). If you check both of those, they have regional
forums - both of them including
Hong Kong specifically.
Hong Kong might just have shy of 10 million people, but it's a concentrated international hub of
shipping, flying and ... there are also quite a lot of
electric cars (though many more needed!). On PPRuNe, the local forum is called Fragrant Harbour, while TMC is just ... Hong Kong.
I don't think you should make a forum just for us. Make a set of local
forums. Even for the
USA, there could be separate forums for the hotspots like
Florida, North
East coast,
West coast, inland lake areas. Then for
Europe, add UK, Scandinavia, Central
Europe,
France, Mediterrainean. Middle East, Hong Kong / Macau (not much in Macau I think, and close to HK so could be OK to include it?).
It would be OK to just have threads within Hong Kong for
maintenance,
license, and those other issues - as long as we can keep them inside a Hong Kong forum.
If
money is involved, I am sure at least some of us would agree to chip in (myself,
member since 2012)
