Oh, my mistake. Sorry

I really just don't think state forums are necessary. Most people will still post in the brokers and agents forum because they know it will be read by more people. I can't find any other bulletin board that has widely used state forums. I bet we'll see a lot of double-posting, which clogs the servers and defeats the purpose.

"Most people will still post in the brokers and agents forum because they know it will be read by more people."

That's true, but that's why I say we make it truly what it is, For Agents & Brokers. There must be a way password protect it so normal users cannot post in it. Only people who have been granted the right to post in it can. That will prevent most double posting. Also, some states are just going to be slower then others. A state like Rhode Island may only get a few posts a week, but a huge state like California or Florida (where a lot of agents are from on here) may get many posts a day.

I think it is a must to have State forums. Not only are real estate laws different from state to state but the market differs greatly. I am a new member and was amazed that the site doesn't offer that choice.

I guess we can consider the Gulf Coast Real Estate Forum as a bit of a test. There has been some interest - not overwhelming. We can probably expect about the same level of interest for a forum covering one of the larger states I would think.

No harm in trying it - so if anyone thinks that a forum covering their state or province would be a good idea and they want to volounteer to moderate it and clear out the spam - let me know and I will set it up
