So we have separate Saigon and HCMC forums

Which genius came up with that?  Perhaps they should be amalgamated.

Yes they should.

Thank you

I thought it was to try to appease everyone and become politically correct. In the US in such places like Little Saigon, people there refer to the city as Sai Gon. But here in Vietnam, it's officially and politically referred as Ho Chi Minh City, but Sai Gon is also accepted. Or just put Hochiminh City (Saigon). *Shrugs*

xpression

i agree, its really confusing.. and if its meant to help those who dont know that saigon and ho chi minh city are the same, maybe a single forum titled "Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)" would be better :)

It's been discussed and mentioned several times. I believe the web site developers are looking into merging the two.

Indeed! Just give us some time ;)

it should merge to "Saigon-Ho Chi Minh" will be fine, in reality SG and HCM are the same...we should sort it out as leave the redundancy

how about using metabot to alias "Saigon" as HCM City.  So, no matter which name an °µÍø½ûÇø searches, it should lead to the same site.
