I am quite optimistic for you guys, and i am pretty sure you'd get you own local board, it might take awhile for sure, but the more you get in the faces of the administrators as to why you guys deserve your local board, the sooner it would come. My local community had to wait a very long time before we got ours, and from the looks of things, i perceive you guys would be next. I understand how difficult it is to communicate effectively in a local thread, but a local board ensures things are very organized and discussions go on smoothly. I wish you guys all the best of luck in your quest, quite a lot of users supported us when we were asking for ours, thus you guys have my full support in this. Cheers.
