TNA created an EasternWA, Idaho, Montana, & Utah section and revived the Colorado section it used to have ... newbie friendly A Michigan board (MIAdultDestination - MAD) created an Idaho, Washington, and Utah section but a hobbyst has to be verified by a provider whom has been verified, then you get a state designation ... if not you're designated a Newbie and don't have access to any of those state sections. MAD only has approximately 2000 members (both hobbits & providers) total with half of them Newbies ... members by state: ID - 56 WA - 45 UT - 167
Some of AHB has gone to TNA, some has gone to MAD, and some have gone to both. Bottom line is the loss of AHB decimated the hobby in these areas and even worse for the Dakotas as no board has added a Dakotas section.
