I brought up having separate forums (lone star and central) back when they were being set up to address those issues. tx alone is larger than several of the regionals; we used to have fairly active mailing lists for the cities--central texas (centex), Houston, DFW. the answer then was no, since other regions would inevitably want their own forums.. NYC, boston, DC. It's basically the tx forum right now anyway; I haven't seen anyone outside post in a while.
