Per request from an user in #omnimaga-fr and from an idea I had for a while, I decided to add new sub-forums below the community section where people can discuss about calculators and open topics in languages other than english. This include a french, german, dutch and spanish sub-forum. Below those there is also another sub-forum (altough not sub-divided into calculator and miscellanous sub-forums) for any other language. Keep in mind that the english rules also applies to those sub-sections as well and that there is translation tools everywhere online so if someone violate the rules it will be very easy to catch people. This should make Omnimaga more international and the people who doesn't speak the main forum language should now be able to announce their projects on Omnimaga and get more recognition, even if not everyone speak each language listed.

Keep in mind though that we are not gonna expand those forum more, unless we add new language. I mean we will not add more sub divisions in each of those international forums. The reason why we won't is because of Invisionfree/Zetaboards Terms of Services, which require our board to be in english. However a long while ago I asked the staff if 100% of the board had to be in english, and they said we can have other languages as well, as long as the majority of the board content is in english.

Enjoy!

On a side unrelated note, I would appreciate if the #omnimaga channel users tried harder to make the difference between the IRC channel and the spam forum, thanks.

A worldwide Omnimaga community is the best kind of Omnimaga community.

lol

technically Omnimaga started in french (back when it was only me and my programs and before it went online).

Older members probably remember the old forums (the yaronet one) where both french/english discussion were mixed everywhere

I remember those days... Wasn't a whole lot of activity going on there either, if I remember correctly.

What yaronet forums are still active? I only know TimeToTeam (for 68k), but I'm not sure if it is still frequented.

omnimaga was still not known well back then (it was in early 2004), oh yea there was also the Omnimaga forums on calcgames in late 2003 (the site wasnt even open at all yet). As for active yaronet forums there is so many here, so it would be hard to tell, but there is 2 active ti forums besides time to team i think, but in french
