No need to invade Uruguay or Venezuela (both low volume with last <br></div><div>
activity in March)... ;-P I think general chat is the best place to <br></div><div>
start, since it is also low volume and may be used for things which have <br></div><div>
no better place to be discussed - especially with subjects like <br></div><div>
"[Iceland] National parks":<br></div><div>

If Lambertus ever wake up, it will be just a matter of pushing them to a <br></div><div>
new subforum, so nothing would be lost and no fragmentation will occur. <br></div><div>
If not, it will still be easy to do on a new server.<br></div><div>
<br></div><div>
It would be a pity to not start community work just because there is no <br></div><div>
optimal place!<br></div><div>
