is garabge. They changed everything to regional forums.

Who cares. I hardly go in there anymore. It is garbage.

well it use to be good but you are right, since its regionalized it makes no difference to go their anymore

Eastern's latest change subs and groups their topics by region (ie. northeast US, etc.). That in itself is ok. However, the downfall IMO was when they earlier sub categorized threads by specific location (ie. -- Eastern PA/NJ, NYC, New England, etc.), forcing you to go digging within those areas to find various topics which are easily buried and lost. That change also causes much duplication of posts as the same thing is posted in different area threads. It also makes it difficult to post topics that are relevant to multiple areas. By creating a regional and area sub-forum format, they essentially reduced themselves to a smaller board. They would have been better off organizing by topic rather than by region / area.

I don't like the new forum. The old one was way better.
