When I clicked on the Asian forum earlier, I was presented with a list of sub-boards made up of:
1) China
2) India
3) Japan
4) South-East Asia
5) Western Asia
Korea does not really fall into any of those categories: we are an East Asian (not South-East Asian) country other than China and Japan. Might it not make sense to simply consolidate China, Japan, and Korea into "East Asia" as a category, given the regions in question are sufficiently historically intertwined that conversation about one could reasonably blend into conversation about the others? The other continental forums seem to follow a similar pattern. I'm not necessarily demanding that this particular solution be adopted, so much as simply pointing out that the currently partitions don't seem to leave an obvious niche for Korean discussion at all.
