If Kuwait City keeps this up are we going to have to start a Kuwait forum too?

May'be so.

But these are just projects that haven't been posted on a bit. Plus, there's no forumers from Kuwait, or Qatar, which are two subforums I'd like to start, just not enough interaction.

Yeah I could see that being a problem. But hopefully the Dubai forum will take off and maybe it will also help draw in more people to the Middle East forum.
