Sim - Yes.

Quantos são os foristas egípcios no SSC? How many the egptyan forists in the SSC?

Será mais um subforum para o continente africano. Will be another subforum for Africa.

Countries that shuld ve their own sub-forums.
1. Egypt - North Africa's Economic power house
2. Kenya - East and Central Africa's economic power house
3. South Africa for the Southerners (They already have)
4. Nigeria for West Africans (Already present)

To moderator: Please include Egypt and Kenya, these some of the most important African economies which are not included there and furthermore, ve more internet users!

I don't think a country should be given it's own forum based on the size of it's economy. This forum is primarily for construction and development and not for the most "important" economies of the continent. After all, it is the mods who decide.

I know that. Checking on the regional representation, no Eastern African country has been allocated any Sub-forum. I think the sub-forum shuld b based on the number of users from that region coz every African country has construction and development projects, if ur statement is to go by. Kenya is not an exception!

That is a great idea!

Nigeria and S.Africa already have one but Kenya deserves one.

I dont know why Kenya did not have one up to now. Kenya definitely deserves one. I usually post about Ethiopia but I noticed Kenya had alot of threads and the main moderator of SSC|Africa is a Kenyan- SE9.

I think Kenya should have a forum a long time ago.

I disagree. Whilst Botswana may be in the same region as South Africa, to be 100% honest I'm not going to post in a Botswana forum. It may be nice to browse through every once in a while, but I'm not going to be an active user. I'm sure the same applies to other users.

However, I do believe that having a sub-forum helps spur sign ups from members of a country, therefore the larger nations should at least get "trial" forums.

I voted YES.

I would love this forum more if we have an Egyptian sub-forum.

No.

There are now too many sub forums. A year ago, I can just click on one link and all the African topics were right in front of me. Now, I must manually click on South Africa, if I want so see South Africa. Morocco is I want to see morocco. I have to click on Angola just to see Angola. Click on Nigeria if I want to see Nigeria. It is unneeded effort and it really divides and ruins sections. why can't we just coexist together?

It really just complicates things.

I think that all African cities topics in this forum will get much more attention if there was just one big section. People from other countries could easily view your topics and make comments.

Eish! Some of us like to be organised. Really, is it so hard making those extra few clicks? If the threads from all the current sub-forums were combined you'd have a much, much more frustrating time clicking in order to find specific threads than clicking to view sub-forums. That I can assure you. It's bad enough trying to find a thread over in the South Africa section.

Oh, and by the way, a year ago the South Africa sub-forum existed

If things were organized more like this than things would be a lot more organized and still have a lot of activity. If I was a modertaor, here is how I would organize this part of the website.

CONSTRUCTION (Buildings in their construction phase of their development.)
PROPOSALS (Buildings that have been proposed.)

STRUCTURE GALLERIES (Pictures of that have already been built.)
CITY GALLERIES (Pictures of cities)
RURAL/SUBURBAN GALLERIES (Pictures of Farms, Nature and Suburbs)

BUSINESS, ECONOMY AND INFASTRUCTURE (Discussion of potential infastructural developments throughout Africa and potential business ventures and the economy of Africa.)
POLITICS (Discussion of African politics)

OFF-TOPIC SECTION (Off-Topic discussion)
OFF-TOPIC GALLERIES (Pictures of off-topic things)

lets be realistic, egypt doesn't deserve a sub-forum.i think the next country to have a subforum should be Sudan, there is lots going on in Sudan over Egypt.
Sudan needed to have her sub-forum a long time ago, so i say no to egypt and yes to sudan

NO

Once again, I disagree. The South African forum alone has more posts than this entire section. The Moroccan forum has almost as many. All of them added to this would be utter chaos. Thankfully, it will never happen.

Well, the thing about the South Africa section is that there aren't a lot of Threads, most of the posts are within the same topics. So, things wouldn't seem as hectic.
