International Forum ??? Where did it go?

[RomanHW]

Just curious, there was an International Forum for non-US collectors to compare experiences, notes, finds, etc... it seems to have disappeared. Is that an omission, or was it removed for some reason? 

 

Thanks,

We noticed there was redundancy between that and the other forums. The couple active posts in there were basically finds threads which should be in the locator forum. Everything else was from last year. The numbers show the forum didn't get much traffic.

It was determined to be redundant as separate boards. Kind of a lets bring everyone together on all topics deal.

So, under the Hot Wheels Products / Locator (Finds) forum, scroll down to find the Canadian Finds thread ...

Personally i think this was a bad move. Collecting outside the USA is and always has been a lot different. Maybe you could have taken a look into WHY the board was slow or even listened to the members when they asked questions. It's not like removing that board improved function of the rest of the site.  Make your product more available to the international market. Right now it seems HEAVILY favored to Australia. Other parts of the world just get to see the pics of it all sitting one shelves until it gets clearance priced.  There are still major problems in your distribution. Fix them and you may see that you have a Global market that is actually wanting your product. We used to post about this all the time on that board. Maybe you guys could have answered instead of making us post redundant questions. So many times I saw if something goes wrong, you  just cut it off, don't bother looking at why.  Should have had the marketing team visit there more. They could have increased your global sales instead of squishing them.
