North American should be viewed in the context of the continent, so this would include the US and Canada.
South American would be for those that model Brazilian, Venezuelan, Colombian, Argentinian etc etc etc railroads.
Making headers for continents instead of countries would help people search for their favorites, as well as keeping the amount of sub forums relatively low.
On the other hand, it will also help that for instance US railroad modeling, which is probably the bulk of the modeling done here on this forum at present, could be divided in 'Western states, and Eastern states' to help people find what they want quicker. Perhaps it can be done by railroad, those modeling ATSF, UP, SP, CSX, BNSF, CONRAIL, etc etc etc all in their own forum, but then that would cause way too many sub forums I guess.
Just throwing a few random thoughts into the mix :-)
