WSO : Asia Edition

Hey guys, I realise that a lot of people on this forum operate in Asian markets. However, this site is clearly biased towards covering the US market (understandably so). I was wondering if it'd be possible for @patrickcurtis or whoever else is responsible for this kind of a thing to figure out a way to cater to the Asian finance population on this forum (especially helpful in terms of answering questions regarding Asia specific funds, or in the current state of affairs - layoffs at Asian bank branches of US hq'd banks, etc.)

What do you guys think? Please feel free to recommend more ways to make this happen!!

Looking at site traffic and split, my recommendation to the devs was to require one of the following to be selected when creating new forum topics:

Topic Region - Global / Any Default - All United States - United States - Northeast - United States - West - United States - South - United States - Midwest - United Kingdom - Canada - All APAC - Singapore - Hong Kong - China - Australia - India - Other APAC - All Europe - Germany - France - Italy - Other Western Europe - Eastern Europe - Central Asia - South America - Central America - Middle East - Africa

Thoughts??

Could we put Central Asia and Caucasus to Eastern Europe + Russia? Cuz you forgot them entirely. Or should we just do a separate CIS region (read ex-USSR)?

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
 

Supported fully as for me

Really like this idea, would be awesome, but maybe be a bit careful with how many categories there are to choose from... I think any more than about 5 and it starts to get too much.

Maybe even just USA, EMEA, APAC would work
