This is the problem with having to many specific forums, say a classified for each regional. We end up with catch-all forums which people then want split up even further, i.e. the current Other forum.
Where would the dude selling his bike in PA post if we only had our current list of regional forums as classified choices?

As is vBulletin only allows 1 prefix to be used on a thread. So if we did use locations for prefixes we'd lose the current ones, which I think are more helpful. Not to mention location is already something that is required in the first post as per the rule changes a few months ago.
One thing we could do is bring back tags, but not let the users type in any random thing (which not surprisingly was abused to hell and back) but have a predefined list, like area codes, car makes, etc. However, I'm not really sure what this gains anyone. Let's say we have car makes as one of the tag choices; buyers can already search for that as again that's required information.
