The return of international sub-forums?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Well, given that certain of the french guys went less active (Juju2134 for example), I was not sure yet, since I was worried it would die fast, but maybe it's just because of school exams. I doN't know much how the international school systems works in terms of exams and semesters. Maybe I could start giving it a try soon?

Also be careful to who you bring here because there is one person in particular in the dutch community that, despite being a good ASM coder, gave us a bit of trouble in his very short stay on our IRC channel before, and in the past on other forums he was rather a troublesome user (major off-topicness starting and trolling). Also if you bring most of the dutch crowd in and Je Oma happens to come in, other people will have to be careful to how they talk to him over here because there are many posts on TI-Wereld that would have got them banned for rudeness over here. (I check the forums using Google translate from time to time)

Although I personally don't speak either of these languages, I think it's a great idea. People that speak English but are not very comfortable with it would be more likely to sign up and contribute if they found out that there were forums for discussion in their native language as well. =)

I know, and I've been thinking about that as well. I could of course moderate the subforum, but I might accidentally turn some people against me on TI-wereld if I'm 'too strict' (read: actually respect omnimaga rules).
And, maybe it's a better idea to wait, since the Dutch forums aren't that active either, as of now.

oh yeah I understand that, altough personally if they do that this means they don't really respect you and they only really care about themselves/want to do what they want/advocate causing fights. My main worry is JFGI/RTFM posts and post trying to discourage authors from working on their projects. Actually, this happened on UTI a year ago for a few months, with a Pokémon project, an Asteroid clone, Jsj795 RPG and some others, and notice how they either barely get any update today and that a few of them are now updated over here instead.

Ok, so, for International sub-forums, there would be a calc help and discussion forum for both french and dutch, and an off-topic board for both too. However, I would need a good dutch translation of the following two descriptions for the dutch sub-forums:

Calculator help and discussion in dutch
-A section for general calculator help and discussion in dutch language. For game/utility showcase, please use the english projects section, though, even if it means only screenshots are posted and translator help is used.

Miscellanous discussion in dutch
-Talk about anything you want here, providing it stays within the board rules.


No section for all other languages, though, because on the old board it pretty much ended up being a spam fest and it would be very hard to moderate.

Oh... I was looking forward to having sub-forums in dead languages like latin/sanscrit/name your favorite (I couldn't come up with others).

lol,

then we should have a Bleep Bloop and 1337 one
