Did PM Netdoc on below - but await some feedback.
As per recent comment in "last one out turn out the light" thread in Greater China forum -
I appreciate it may seem a 'political' or minor issue if you live elsewhere, but we currently have "Taiwan" thrown into "Greater China" forum location - whereas politically, and fiercely defended by all Taiwanese, Taiwan is not actually part of Greater China . It's an item even the politicians can't sort out, but as happens in the next few weeks Taiwan will celebrate its birthday, being 100 years since it broke away, forming political independence as a country.
Considering above, would it be possible to form a "Taiwan only" forum within the "General Asia" or independently in the "Asia" section of forum, and shift all Taiwan posts/threads into it ? Politically it would be correct and in addition Taiwan has good diving worth talking about, whereas mainland China has very little diving worth talking or reading about ~ as I know as I have also lived over in China.
If you browse through the posts in "Greater China" you'll find majority are dedicated to Taiwan and you'll find in the last few years majority of input is from Ambertiger, Makhno and in the last year from myself, and for sure we would all like to see "Taiwan" as 'independent" on the Scubaboard forum from 'Greater China', as it is an independent island.
NB: I'll chuck another $ in the Legal defence fund if you can arrange as above, and for sure will try and encourage some of my Taiwan dive buddies to start to contribute.
Regards
