We are currently updating our site to add local news forums! This was a big idea from the beginning but we had to make sure we had the correct connections to provide this information. Thank you for taking your time to give us a suggestion as to what you would like to see.

Has this happened yet?

Topix was not just about gossip about what is going on, including in regards to the rules and regulations of a particular public use facility and what kinds of behaviors would get a person hurt or even in trouble.  It was also about local news and discussions about local news as well.  It would be well to have sub forums related to the various cities and states of the United States.
