In the past, and again recently, members have made a plea for some way to "find each other" based on region or location. While it would be nearly impossible to accomodate each individual state or metroplex for truly local interaction, I have created a number of forums dividing the world into various "regions" with the focus being on the bulk of our membership.

If a number of members from one of the continental regions feel a further division of their continent would be useful, I will be open to reasonable suggestions about how best to do so.

ALL of the Terms of Service and Site Rules of BP.net apply within these forums.

In particular, there will be NO selling or soliciting allowed in these forums.

Topics for the Regional Forums should include Herp Events, discussions about local get-togethers, advice on finding local suppliers, and general off-topic banter related to your region and/or the people in it.

Specific herp discussions (ie: Why won't my snake eat?) should be created in their proper topical forum and will be moved there by staff if necessary. And once again, NO sales discussions or solicitations for goods will be allowed. General advice on finding suppliers, and general recommendations of suppliers is fine...but no self-promotion and no lists of goods either for sale or wanted to buy.

These forums have been created on a trial basis and may be compressed into sub-forums if they get little use...or removed altogether if they are abused with excessive sales or other infractions against the TOS.

Be patient if you read this thread within the first few minutes of it being posted...it'll take a few minutes to get all the forums turned on.

Once they are on, you can find them by going to the Forum Index and scrolling down to the bottom of the list.

Enjoy!!
