How about a forum for Rooks, Knights & Bishops, I think this could promote much better intersquad communications and strategies for multisquad type missions etc.., I also think this would be a good way to improve country morale and support for your fellow country mates. Now I don't know if this has ever been proposed before, if it has, I'am not aware of it nor could I find it on the forums, so all I not looking to get into argue fest here just some intelligent rebuttals good or bad as to this subject.
Thank You

Intersquad communications would be better handled with a private mailing list amongst the interested squads ( Rook Joint Operations utilized this long ago ).
When you create country specific message boards, you're going to encounter issues with managing the list and granting/denying access to the various forums as people change countries. It's an effort of administration that must be conducted by those who wield admin power.
Couple that with the ENY functionality that encourages people to switch sides to balance arena numbers, and you've got a potential for somebody to spending an aweful lot of time assigning and reassigning people as they hop around.
Then... if you do have country-hoppers involved in the forums, you WILL get accusations of spying and cheating that nobody wants to have to deal with.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea.. but I wouldn't want to be the poor sap that has to manage the membership rosters.
