Is it possible to have ASEAN section?

[Viet]

ASEAN comprises of 10 countries in SEA from Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia to Malays and Singapore.

We are a community with own military, political and economic might. There are multiple members from old defense I think they will rejoin.

There is a China&Far East section, I am not against China but it’s too much China focus, ASEAN topics rarely come into spotlight.

I have no issue with this. But we need ASEAN people i.e. members to come back. Spread the word if you can and thereafter we can see if there is traction.

Sorry just at work.

I have no problems with this, can we attract significant members from the region, the last thing we want is for it to get polluted with aimless drivel from certain repeat offenders.

Build it and they will come approach? As long as people have the bandwidth to moderate and follow the threads. Could close Indonesian section and merge into ASEAN, and remove the far east from China world forum?

I think the opposite is true.

Otherwise it´s much like asking if there will be enough people, and when they go to an automobile showroom?

they go when there are attractive cars to see in the showroom. Not the other way around, they don´t go to an empty showroom, then wait to see when the cars coming. maybe or maybe not in the future.

the more attractive the forum the more users will come.

right now many users are intimidated by chinese topics.

I would suggest carving out such a dedicated subforum when we have enough members posting on ASEAN topics to justify it.

Ok I see my appeal is in vain. no chance.
