Sorry for "bumping" this, but how many users/players from a country is needed to get a forum with their own language? And if there arent enough from ex. Norway, will it maybe be a scandinavian forum? With Norway, Sweden and Denmark? Would be nice to talk about the game and so on in our own languages
Hi Berger and all the other Scandinavian people out there!
I agree with you. I was just thinking about asking the same question as you as I bumped into yours.
We are a bunch of members living in the far north, and although English is the forum's default language,
some people would preferr a Scandinavian forum due to the following reasons:
1. The risk of misplaced threads reduces when there's no language difficulties.
2. With a Scandinavian forum, some people who are not so familiar with the English language also
dares to post threads, with no fear of making themselves look like donkeys. (Yes, that happens!)
3. It would be a great way of getting junior skippers into the forum as well.
4. SS2008-threads in other Scandinavian forums (like e-buzz.net) wouldn't be necessary.
And for the English speaking members who think you will miss something interesting in a Scandinavian forum:
I'm aware of that too, but my guess is that multilingual members will spread it around the English part as well?!
Yes, I see the problem with a lot of separate forums, but since we are quite a lot of people here, and of which
many are having problems with for example English technical terms, a separate forum would be a benefit.
So, to the admins, and my fellow members in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland: Your opinions?
