Lower South?

The "lower" south? WTF? welcome to "dixie"

Yeah... Oklahoma is a fine example of a state where you will still find the Confederate Tradition... Sure...

I liked the Gulf State classification better... And ironically, it's more fitting, even though we're landlocked...

I will give you the guys the option of going to the West or Midwest. Those are the only two other sections that might work.

Oklahoma should stay with Texas, I think. So we'll stay here. I know you can't please everyone. Every forum has Oklahoma in a different place, and on each of them I run into the problem that when I post about OKC or Tulsa, the discussion that comes out is "Is OK really midwestern" or "I don't think Oklahoma posts belong in the South."

No one claims us.

Tulsa is more Midwestern, Oklahoma City is more Southwestern, southeastern Oklahoma is more Southern, there is no good fit.

The right choice, and this would probaby also help people in north and west Texas that are in no way Southern either, retitle the forum "Gulf Coast and South Central United States"

Apparently someone needs to look at a MAP!

Id say Oklahoma and Missouri are tough states to figure out where they belong. No matter what gets done, someone is going to complain anyways.

every one is right, we just get stuck in any section. i think the best thing you could do is make a great plains section. stick us in that section and you most likley wont here anyone say anything then.

It would be great to get some more action going in the West forum and eventually need to split it up. Then maybe you could get a smaller area and have a forum that most Oklahomans would prefer to be in. I admit it is an odd fit but I like having the Oklahoma and Arkansas forums in the same area. Of course I live in northwest Arkansas so I have more interest in Oklahoma than most Arkansans.
