I hope we can get the local board as we bacame a big community now and posts in a single thread have been increeased immmensely. Our thread reached 800 plus pages now, and if compared with other loacl baord, most of the time our posts are more than theirs. Sometimes it is harder for us to make diffeerent kind of posts in a single thread, It wont make sense when in a day we make more than 40 posts, harder to go back and reach them all to find the relavent info.
I understand how hard it would be to keep up with the discussion in a local thread where everyone is talking about anything in the same thread. Even we get lost sometimes in the discussion threads, but at least that is limited to the discussion on the same topic. Local thread is a one-stop discussion for all the local topics and as the active members grow in the local thread, you will lose the charm to post in local threads.
A lot of positive discussions and useful information may become overlooked due to the congestion of mixed posting. I think all the active local threads should be given the opportunity to convert them into local boards. I don't see a reason of not doing so
