German boards

[Gryzor]

Ok, the German Boards seem to be pretty much dead. Should I remove them and move the threads to the respective boards?

[Poliander]

Make it so.

[Devilmarkus]

I guess it can be moved...
Also:
On Schneider / Amstrad CPC Forum - Index is another German forum, too...
(I am sure Gryzor has nothing against this little advert, as he is a member there, too )

[Gryzor]

Yeah. The point is not to push users to other fora, but to allow mixing languages (something that already happens) in all boards.

[Devilmarkus]

Of course....
Everybody should be welcome here, and, IMHO, if a user for example just speaks Spanish and opens a Spanish thread here, even is welcome...
I do the same in Greek, Spanish, French fora, too... (In English)

[Devilmarkus]

We perhaps should also open a thread here, with links to several fora, for all people who prefer posting in their native languages, but perhaps don't know, a CPC - or a Retro-forum with a CPC section exists...

[Gryzor]

That's taking it a tiiiiny bit too far. There's a section on the wiki for that.

[Devilmarkus]

Ah ok, didn't know that... I more use this forum than the wiki itself, as you know ;-)

[AMSDOS]

Didn't realise the other forums allowed people to write in their own tongue, though it would depend what response (if any) you got back.

[Gryzor]

Quite often people will write in German or French (usually), that's pretty ok...

[AMSDOS]

Sorry, I just meant the French Forums prefer French, likewise with the Spanish & German. Though people have done that here, not that it bothers me.

[robcfg]

Usually people prefer their forums in their native tongue. That said, I've been welcome to speak in english in french forums, as I politely asked first.


The CPCWiki is an interesting case, as it's not written in Gryzor's native tongue.

[Gryzor]

Well the wiki itself could not afford to be a local effort, and once we took over after the Zone's demise it was only natural...
