International Forums!

[n3rd_pr1de]

Hey! i was thinking about doing international forums just like they do on some trackers. We have lots of people on t-i from all over the world (i'm from brazil and i know people from pakistan, india, china, canada, etc.) that could have a forum specially to talk to! maybe a portuguese-spoken sub-forum (for brazilian and portuguese people), some for indian people, some for chinese people and so on! To let things organized you guys could choose a member to admin the forum, so things would not get out of control.

I don't like this idea. It would reduce the activity in the general forums. Plus, this is "officially" an english speaking forum.
If someone needs help in they own language or simply wants to talk we have created a very useful chart that you can find Here where you can find users from your country that are willing to help others.

I believe this is how far we will go
Anyway, it is not up to me to decide. I just posted to give my opinion on this subject.

I agree with Kevin on this one. Not needed.

I'm pretty sure that it would not reduce the main forum's activity. I think that people get more confortable on having a forum where they can talk their own language. IMHO it would even encourage people to be more active on forum and EVEN MORE on irc (where we have less than 1% of non-english native speakers.)

yeah! so everyone know where to find help in their own language.

Well, if they managed to make an intro and be accepted they already know something about english.
No doubt they would feel comfortable talking in their own language, but if you think about it, that means that we would have to have a portuguese mod for the portuguese section, a french mod for the french section, a russian mod for the russian section... Ever thought about it? :)

EDIT: you guys write faster than I do lol

of course we can't have mods to EVERY language in the world, but the mods could make a poll and set like:

if X members (10, 20, 30.. i don't know) are portuguese (for exemple), they deserve their space. you know what i mean?
