Polish forums section

[Ozwan]

I haven't found any proper place for this and don't really want to spam any admin's mailbox thus I'll just post it here.

Since Poland has one of the biggest M&B communities I fail to see why there wouldn't be a Polish section in Non-English forums. Like some of you probably know mountblade.info is main polish fansite and also has a pretty crowded forum however the site is nothing like official website therefore I think it would be wise to give Polish people who visit taleworlds forums their own place. Ipso facto acknowledging them as a notable fanbase.

This petition can be of course moved if there's a need for it.

We need to see a) there's enough Poles to make it worthwhile and b) we have someone available to moderate said board who we actually trust to do so.

IIRC last time this was asked it failed at B.

Not to mention the fact that they've already put together a well established 3rd party forum for it, which leads to a much lesser need for one.

If you put it this way the yeah, we don't need another one, the point is I thought it would be good idea for you to attract communities to your board.
This is not a request to create a forum 'because we don't have one' but a suggestion that you have this possibility to unite fans more and bring people to these forums so they become more active - of course if your 'offer' will be 'attractive' enough to convince people to migrate from their original forum.
I reckon it's up to you if you consider your goal is to encourage people to look outside their confined national M&B scene, integrate with and participate in global one or not.

b) we have someone available to moderate said board who we actually trust to do so.

I'm up for the task if there's noone else around who would suit the job better.

Yes, but how else would we keep up with the hotbed of intrigue that is the Russian community? There's always someone falling out with someone else because of what their mod said about an admin or similar. It's like a soap opera.

Really the other language boards are leftovers from the early days of M&B when we had sizeable populations of Finns and the like running around and posting in their made up language all over the place. If there had been a decent Finnish site out there (or even some form of mental home) we'd have probably offloaded them back then.
Personally, I'd prefer to direct them to a third party site in their own language which is going to offer at least the same as we do here, if not far more. I don't really see the point in having a sub board here for Polish when they can go somewhere else and have an entire site to play with instead.
But like I said, if enough people ask for it we'll add one.

I don't think that it's a good idea. The Germans just would conquer it in minutes.

 

[Austupaio]

Maybe if they have a Polish-Lithuanian section, they'll hold out longer.

 

[Goliat]

I agree with Austupaio

 

[Kolba]

Maybe if they have a Polish-Lithuanian section, they'll hold out longer.

Though most of Polish don't know any words in lithuanian. 

 

[El Perro Finlandese]

You didn't get it, Kolba, did you?

 

[In Vain]

Maybe if they have a Polish-Lithuanian section, they'll hold out longer.

I demand a Teutonic Order section! I want have!

Oh wait...

BTW, what about one sub-forum in Non-English Forums called, for example "Other Languages" where other minor communities can create their own language thread? I am Lithuanian and I know that in this forum are a lot of other Lithuanians, but we don't have any good site where we can talk about M&B in our languge. One sub-forum for these small communities as the Lithuanian is too big, but one site to create a thread in our Language will be perfect, I think.

I think it's a good idea. There are enough Polish forum addicts as far as I know, I'm sure at least one would be a good moderator. Maybe one of guys from external Polish forum.

yeah... no

 

[Urist]

No, the forum sections are shiny enough.

funny

 

[feldon0606]

I believe that I would be able to find enough Polish people who would like to have a small branch in the main M&B forum. It doesn't have to be anything big. Just a small thing

 

[LastRoman]

What about Czechoslovakian section? 

 

[Overlord-]

Precisely! There are even more Czechs and Slovaks than Poles! 
But seriously, what would be that for? If one can speak english he doesn't need any sub board in his own language. And honestly, if he doesn't, it's way better to keep him away. Since he will most likely end up making another 50 of those "I nub... etc." threads, which are considered as spam and nobody likes them. You may think that a subboard like this will help to avoid this, but those,  which are here for at last one month, know that these-like newbies don't even try to find something like subboard, they post everything in pioneer's guild whether it belongs there or not {Which is more likely to happen}.
