Start a location Thread for each city?

I think its a great idea.

Yea thats not a bad idea either.

Soo Counties or cities?

Counties sounds like a better cut than individual cities.


Unless you grouped cities within 15-20 miles apart.

(Corvallis/Albany/Lebanon)
(Eugene/Springfield)
(Cottage Grove/Creswell/Drain/Yoncalla)

Etc. Good thought.

Yes thats what I was talking about. Group them together.

Sounds like a great idea I know that I have seen a few members here from the Rogue Valley, but can never remember who

OK so I will start one for Albany/Corvallis/Lebanon.

someone else make one for their areas... Sound ok?

Sounds like a cool idea.
You mean like a separate forum for each area like they do on the national sites?

Oregon
Washington
Idaho
Alaska
(only on a more local level)

If it was just threads, then they would fall off page one of the forum they are in.

Do you mean like this?

Feel free to discuss the pros and cons.

Problem with counties... I live on the border of 2 counties. Which one should I claim? Problem with cities... My town doesn't really exist.

It wouldn't matter. Just I live in linn county but am only. 10 mins away from bention county. Claim whatever one u r in

Yea I think Cities would be a little better cause Honestly I dotn know every city on every county. so some may get confused

Main Group:

• Oregon
  • NW Oregon (Salem North to PDX West to Astoria)
  • Mid Valley (South Salem to Cottage Grove/Drain then to coast including Newport Coos Bay)
  • SW Oregon (Medford, Roseburg, Kalamath, etc)
  • Central (Bend, Sister, Prineville, The Dalles)
  • Eastern ( Baker, Pendleton, Frenchglen, Burns)

• Washington:
  • South West (Vancouver, etc.)
  • Seattle & Surrounding (Seattle, Marysville, Woodinville, Aurora etc...)
  • North West (Upper.. Near canada border>..)
  • Central (Unknown of towns)
  • Eastern (Spokane, Tri-cities area etc.)

Within each area a thread of specific groupings of cities?


Is this the layout your referring to OP?

Just my $.02

I'm not sure about the areas, but that looks pretty close.
I would include Idaho and Alaska also as general groups also.

glockguy, is this what you were looking for?

Yea, I guess that will work. Just make sure the places are some what close to each other. Like for instance. I dont think people from like Portland area would want to drive here to Albany for a get together to shoot. So Maybe a more Confined area. So One area would be for example: Albany, Lebanon, Sweet home, Corvallis. Someone Mentioned doing counties. So if that were the case instead of those cities it would be: Linn/Benton .

I was just trying to think of a way to categorize certian places that are near close to each other. Kinda of like a grid

I was trying to do a layout as glockguy was describing.

I mean there's always tweaking. I'm here simply for your amusement.

Zones can be off too.

Hey Its an open thread this isn't just my idea, Its everyone's!

It's a good idea.

Let's keep the ideas coming.

Any draw-backs anyone can think of?

I dont think there are many draw backs, I just dont know how to get it all in order. I think it was you coctailer that said if they were just threads they would fall off the board. How can we keep each location at the top of the page permanently? and as a new location opens up a moderator (im assuming thats who can make those kinda of changes) can add it?

If it were all kept in one section it wouldn't take up much space.

Drawbacks? More threads?

sounds like a good idea .. would love to get together w/ some rogue valley people for dinner or shootin...Don
