Would it be possible to create subforums for other countries?

Hey!

I'm thinking a little if it would be possible to create subforums for different countries and languages. Of course this wouldn't be interesting for the majority of the users here, since most of you guys seems to be from the states. But there's still a good chunk of foreigners here (including me) who are having some trouble understanding some of the threads. I haven't really discussed this with other members, but when I browse the forum there's a lot of threads regarding laws/e-liquid rules and customs in different countries, and these discussions are all country-based. There's no real reason for me to discuss customs experiences with people from the US/Canda since I'm from Sweden and the rules are completely different here.

I noticed many people are from the UK and it wouldn't surprise me if there are members representing all the european countries here. So why not create subforums for this, or maybe a EU-forum?

Why would this be a good idea? Well, since I'm a retailer I'd love to discuss laws, rules and customs with people from the european region, because we can work something out. When I'm discussing the same thing with people from North America it's kinda hard to get a good discussion going, since we have to explain all the rules before we can understand our issues.

As of right now, I've sent documents with laboratory tests to the Swedish Government about getting permission to sell Nicotine cartridges. I'm the first one to do so, so hopefully I'll learn a lot and have a little luck. If I succeed, I will be able to put our products in all the pharmacies in Sweden, along with TV commerical. If I succeed, I will also try to make it legal in Norway where the e-cigarettes right now are illegal (even if they're nicotine free).

I really want to start a movement here in Scandinavia. I feel that all the retailers here lack motivation and that their shops looks like they're made from junkies. I want to turn e-cigarettes into a serious alternative here in Scandianvia, and I would love to get some support/collaborations from American users/retailers.

So where can I discuss this without boring all the americans out? I'm sure I will bring nothing to the table by discussing swedish/norwegian/danish laws and customs experience.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Diego!

We do have some national and international subforums

Best of luck with your ventures and getting the word out. Wish you lots of success.

Hi Diego.

As Caridwen says, you have an EU forum available. If you would like a Swedish language forum then we will be happy to provide that, if it has a permanent Swedish Moderator who will control it. The Moderator cannot be a vendor.

You can post in such a forum as long as you never mention your products or any vendor-related information. Do not mention your vendor status in the EU forum.

Vendors (we call them Suppliers here on ECF) have to be registered here otherwise we are buried in spam, and get a lot of complaints. You can register if you wish, please see the Contacts page linked at the top and bottom of every forum page. Members do not want to see vendor-related posts here except in the specific vendors' forums. If you break this rule you will be banned.
