Default new name for this forum?

This forum is pretty much dead, I think we need more people in it.
The solution could be to re-name it so that Italian, Swiss, German, Greek, Scandinavian people would come...
Personally I've never in my life considered I was part of the "Benelux" (no offence), but I do travel quite a lot in all of the countries mentioned above, and we have a few people here from these countries.

so...

European S2000 owners?

I think European would be good, so that some portugese and english members could feel part of it

No problem with that. At the moment there are less than 10 people really active in this forum, but they are from Benelux. Maybe not a rename but how about an addition of a European group?

This forum is not dead...be sure !
The advantage of our forum : common language...
with spanish or other users we will get a lot of other languages too
I like the current way to operate...
For me, keep 'AS IT'

common language??
??
Personally my language is french, and of course the common language on most forums is english, and I don't see why the addition of southern europeans would be a problem. Last time I checked, Spanish people spoke english too

I thought about this new name for a few reasons :
- benelux is a bit restrictive (France isn't part of it, for example)
- if we had an european forum, we might have heard of the swiss s2000 meeting BEFORE it happened! (not that I would have come, but I'm sure some people would have)
- segregating people into distinctive groups is a very american way of proceding, we're european, can't we all just get along?

so?

Eh BeNeLux S2000 owners,

I agree to rename it in European for three reasons :

1. I'm living in Switzerland and there is no specific forum
2. I'm for that Switzerland enter in European Union (CEE) and this forum can be the beginning
3. schedule some meetings across Europe
