:confused:

why is it? As no one hardly ever posts to it, and do any registered members actually live in New York?

just curious like..

Actually I would quite to meet the PbMen, I notice he/they dont post in the NY/US Forum though, too busy minding other nations business I suppose.

I live in Philadelphia, about 100 miles away, and I visit New York City at least once a month. Never met anyone from here in NYC though.

heh, i've only been to NY once, and i found the new york forum very useful indeed AND i met an urbanite.

so it does have its uses and i for one would demand that it stays.

The NYC forum began because I had plans to start up a NY 'branch' of urban75 after talking to loads of peeps out there complaining that they couldn't find any forums about their city that reflected the same scope of politics/social/beer drinking activities.

Sadly, a lack of time/cash meant that those plans have gone on the back burner, but several people have found the forum absolutely invaluable - particularly those travelling to NY from the UK (myself included) and looking for things to do/peeps to meet.

So the forum remains a bit of a 'sleeper', and although not tremendously busy, still serves a useful function.

I think I may move this thread into the community forum because it's already way too chatty for the feedback forum rules and miss minnie may get cross ;)

AFAIK, Aqua and Bees used the NY forum to make arrangements to meet Urbanites when they visited last year, and there must be others.

I'm missing the Pink Pony. We're hoping to come out again in October/November - maybe even bring over a daft outfit for the Halloween Parade!

If you're in NY when we're there ... let's quaff! :)

That would be pretty cool if the NY forum got as busy as the London one, used by people from NY.

I didnt notice orginally that it was New York & US forum, and I just realised I need to post a thread about going to America :o :D

We were disappointed to see the cube missing. It became a tradition for my son to turn the cube since he first saw it a decade ago. (We were taking a tour, reminiscing at some of our favorite spots.) Then we saw the bike. We got such a laugh out of it. I thought it to be very creative, and wouldn't be surprised if someone from the gang the transformed the black cube into a rubicks cube, had something to do with this gag....
