DG & P?
Hey Mod's .. what's with the name change? DG & P
Sign of the times - need to do more with less?
Goodness me .. as long as there isn't a repeat of when the kiwis' went silly and tried to tell us their bit of the world was better than ours last time the forums were re-jigged!

Now Voice, you have been here long enough to remember the ruckus when D&G was separated from R&N and got its own forum.
IIRC the last straw was when the poms got sick of the Dick Smith threads in R&N!
Sadly lost in the great server crash of ~2000...

There was a request for a Fiji Forum which was never going to get up - too little traffic potential.
So I asked PPRuNe Admin for our forum to include the Pacific, which is more in line with PPRuNe policy for regional, rather than specific country forums.
We now include Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Solomons, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga etc
Makes more sense as we often have threads from those countries anyhow.

Seems to have a life of its own.

Who knows? Not my responsibility.

ah yes Stallie, how could anyone forget that!
Tailie - I knew there'd be a logical explanation .. how funny, didn't DG cop the biggest number of hits/day in the forums, so it stands to reason they'll just get even bigger?!! (and uglier barneys' to sort out?)

Good point ReverseFlight, and I agree that there appears to be some level of inconsistecy. However, if there are aviators out there who want to contribute and, maybe, need a voice, are we really churlish enough to deny them the opportunity? After all, if someone posts, and no one's interested, the thread dies. For the life of me, I cannot see what difference it makes.
There's a few of our comrades plying their trade in the SWP. The region is close, but not big enough to command a a dedicated section. Maybe they've got stuff to say, and maybe we'd be interested.
I'm happy to give it a go. After all, we've had heaps on PNG - and nobody said that that didn't belong on D&G. It added to the site - still does.

I can't find the statistics now but I seem to recall D, G & P Forums accounts for around 12% of this site traffic which I think translates to around 100,000 page "hits" per day.
