I tend not to pay too much attention to Dodger fans.

I new this would be the first complaint, and somehow I new that despite having the announcement up for three weeks or so, we would not have real opinons till we did it. The problem is as a growing forum, the regional section took up so much space. Yes you do have to do one more click to get to the subforums in each region (meets, etc), but you can still get to say the Bay Area mainsection for example straight off the main forum listing by clicking it in the listing of regions right there.

I'd say change it back. If you want to cut it down... place all the smaller activity region in one area, but as for the BAIC, SRIC, SCIC, keep them front and center.

I never used sub-forum links for commonly visited sub-forums. I created shortcut (links) for several forums in my Windows taskbar. I can launch Firefox to open in the BAIC sub-forum or several other commonly visited sub-forums, or switch between forums using the same shortcuts. The changes do not affect me at all.

Personally, I think you should condense the whole damn thing. That way the entire forum sub-categories will fit within the screen.

Here's an example of another forum I belong to: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/index.php?

And another good example i do not belong to: http://forums.swordforum.com/index.php?

The first example is excellent. I wouldn't mind if i-Club forums were organized in this manner.
