How about a US- Southwest region forum?
 

There are two regional boards for the mississippi river area, two for California, but none for the Southwest! The land of mountains and desert is the Southwest, not the MIDWEST. The Midwest is another name for Central. Being a Coloradoan, I am very insulted at being called Midwest, and insulted that there's not a Southwest board.

Pretty please with a cherry on top? :)

WOW! That was FAST! Thanks BUNCHES!

maybe you dweebs were confused by the labeling.. I thought the description would tip you off that the 'midwest' was intended to be for all of the western states excluding the pacific

perhaps relabelling midwest into southwest would be a better plan. i'll tell you right now, nobody from arizona, new mexico, utah, colorado, or nevada would consider themselves a midwesterner.
