While I'm not privy to all the reasons the forums were setup in the manner they are, I can say that this particular area works and works rather well.
Using an informative title is the key: South Central Idaho Gathering and Shoot-fest!
Then in the body of the post, simply relate the idea and wait for takers.
Every person that responds will automatically bump the thread to the top. Discussion of when and where ensues and, Viola! A gathering is made and held.
My wife and I did a couple of these down in Utah, back before the big sign-off, as there simply weren't too many Idahoans on TFL in the early 00's.
I would suggest that you give it a shot and see what transpires.
