sunnyy4 Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 If you mean international as in "American board" or "Austrailian board," then I'm totally against it because it will not allow us unity like the way Neobond intended this forum for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted April 10, 2002 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2002 difficult one that mate.. having languages on the boards will close of and limit the admin to its mother tongue. We have seen bigger sites almost sink because of certain languages getting way out of hand (unbeknown to the English speaking admin) I think that having select languages here is discriminative to the people that are and will be left out. Certain resources will only be available in your native forum effectively shutting out the rest of the community. Heh, that was a long rant. but do you get what I mean? I live in Holland and the co-admin is also Dutch, we chose however English for the larger community and benefits of a single language. I think its a bad idea. Friends of mine have suffered in such communities that usually and not surprisingly wage war on each other at a certain moment (usually due to a minority - but hey!)

Yes, but let's not forget that afterall, this is a tech site and IMHO doing that would only seperate people into different groups which might lead to a flamewar, and I think it's a little too far off the subject (tech).

icie Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 indeed, hard to moderate, problems with lamers, etc, etc, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Yeah I can see what you were getting at mate, like a forum where you can speak your own language and talk about stuff relevant to your specific place rather then in gerneral disccussions, but yeah Id agrree with the others that it sort of would seperate the community to a degree. What about a International Forum, where people can discuss and make posts about their location and in there own language if they want, sort of like Space Guy wanted, yeah that could work, just one forum where people can post, so if space guy wanted to post in spanish or whatnot he could, and if I wanted to post about the lack of Technology in Aus I could. Something to consider more perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to consider more perhaps. 2 comments about the above. 1) Anyone from anywhere can talk about "the lack of technology in aus" (thats just an example. could be anything) in the general discussion forum, so that doesn't facilitate the need for a new forum IMO. 2) Like Neobond said, if we had people speaking in their own language, english speaking admin/mods couldn't stop flamewars/fights/problems because we wouldn't understand. If you want to talk about something related to where you live, just post in General Discussion. I'm sure others who live where you are will reply.

KnifeFace Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 nah, all "Neowin Community Rules" will be broken, because the moderator mostly won't understand anything that will be said. And there will be need for more bandwitch, because certain thread will be repetting themselfs only in different languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nXP_151 Veteran Posted April 10, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2002 IMO, I don't think this is a good idea. English is still the best language out there, English has become International, even in Indonesia the country where I come from, salesman and etc speak English with a foreigner, but if the foreigner speak Indonesian than, the conversation will be in Indonesian. So there is always forum based on your language, just search for it. vBulletin supports many languages and people keep making the template for languages to be used in vBulletin.
