Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 146  | Country forum, too much to ask? Ok all iv been thinking, ( not something i do alot of ) but im now thinking about starting a UK related forum, it will include things such as The Latest UK news Weather updates and forecasts, chat about different areas, sports chat basically anything thats british will be there. Would / Could this work, or would i be hoping too much for something so generalised to take off and become popular? Cheers Jake

IM sure theres a lot. im not saying your idea could work, or not work, im just saying if i were to try it, that would be the general game plan.... | ||||
