Regional Boards - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Stiltzkin · 09-07-2004, 08:21 PM

I was just wondering why Mexico and South America are not respresented in the Regional Boards? Is it due to lack of members from these regions?

Me gustaria un lugar donde puedo hablar <i>un poquito</i> de espanol qui ^^

I can't speak for the admins, of course, but the impression I've always gotten from the TFP is that's it's a place where there are very few barriers to communication. Putting in language-oriented boards might effectively lock out those who don't speak the tongue. Also, sometimes a member violation or other conflict requires someone in the upper ranks to make a decision, and it's not fair to anyone to have to work with a translated version of events. You wouldn't want to get banned because of a translation error, would ya?

maybe have an admin for the forums who speaks the language?

I'm sure many people on these forums speak spanish. Spanish is my second language and I speak it decently. I would actually enjoy a forum in Spanish because it can help me stay up on the language.

Well see, I scroll through the Europe board and I see people talking different languages here and there, not really carrying on entire conversations in other languages. I'm just saying that it would be nice to have a place where I could throw in some Spanish in a regionally-oriented board.

Soy de la frontera ^^

Like that.

Africa also does not have one -- and there are three African members here.

Its because members from these regions are too few to justify a dedicated board.
