Title: South African Sub-Board? Post by: CrackedLogic on February 22, 2015, 05:43:25 PM I've seen a fair amount of South Africans on the forum and it would be nice if we could have like a central place to talk about our current society(with all our parliament antics, corruption and bitcoin adoption-obviously)
It could also help encourage more bitcoin/cryptocurrency related events around South Africa. I know it might be a bit more moderation but I think it's worth it. There is mainly English speaking and afrikaans South Africans. I have yet to see the other 9 languages. If they aren't any mods/staff able to take up the role, I don't mind doing it. Anybody here agreeing to a South African Board? Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: Quickseller on February 22, 2015, 05:47:46 PM I don't see the afrikaans thread on the first page of the other languages (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0) board, and the last post of the thread at the bottom of that board is from November 2014.
I also see that there is a Klingon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27745.0;all) thread (LOL) Title: Re: South African Sub-Board?

Aren't there many different dialects of language in Africa? Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: troleybüs on February 23, 2015, 12:50:15 AM We don't need that right now. First you have to expand your local thread, then you have a chance to get sub-forum.

If not a sub-board it would be nice if we could have a stickied topic in the other section. Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: EFS on February 23, 2015, 03:52:45 AM If not a sub-board it would be nice if we could have a stickied topic in the other section. That should be handled pretty fast. Just PM to Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147). Title: Re: South African Sub-Board?

Just PM to Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147). I'll pm him once there are enough people supporting the idea. Should be fairly soon. Title: Re: South African Sub-Board?

Post by: Equinoxx on February 23, 2015, 06:19:18 PM Can we make a Zulu board? or Xhosa? I am weak with Afrikaans.
Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: CrackedLogic on February 23, 2015, 06:26:35 PM Can we make a Zulu board? or Xhosa? I am weak with Afrikaans. Because you can speak zulu and/or xhosa fluently without Google translate. Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: thebitcoinquiz.com on February 24, 2015, 01:56:15 AM I voted yes for the board.
There shouldn't be any problem if you guys contribute to a lot of traffic on the forum, but I sometimes fear that every nation will start demanding for a new board. We Indians have a separate board in Locals part and that's the only local board in which I see everyone talking in english(earlier I used to think that local boards are there just because of the language difference). I feel like RSA's case is matching with the indian case, we have a lot of dialects spoken, we need something to accumulate us under one shell and all. So yes. Agree to a S.african board.

That's the only problem I fear of this suggestion being accepted. With the indian board they still can speak their native language while easily switching between theirs and english. We can also do the same. Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: Hazir on February 25, 2015, 06:07:53 PM Can we make a Zulu board? or Xhosa? I am weak with Afrikaans.

They sure are not in this thread. Title: Re: South African Sub-Board? Post by: CrackedLogic on February 25, 2015, 06:21:03 PM Can we make a Zulu board? or Xhosa? I am weak with Afrikaans.

If the others don't want a sub board that's fine, if we don't get much of a response then there's no point in having our on sub board since nobody will contribute to it. |
