In an effort to creat participation and togetherness, I'm afraid this new 'separate country headings' layout is only going to breed partition, and cultural seperation which isn't what chat sites/forums are about. (Where's Poland, Singapore and all the other countries who had/have representation here? You can't have a heading for them all, Expatica!) The old layout had a main heading 'Country Forums' and I reckon that was quite sufficient. If the idea behind this really is to promote participation, then I'm afraid it's going to fail. I don't like this 'You and Us' thing at all. I'm going to break a long standing rule here and 'double post' by putting this on all the other 'country' headed topics. I will also post this under the 'Belgium' Topic section and ask for feeling and a vote from all who post here.

I agree with you,it's better all in the one forum,I hate it all being separated aswell.Can't we just muck in together like we do in Holland?
