Language forums

I'm sure I missed something, but where are the language based subforums? Were they no longer necesarry, because they weren't visited enough? Or is my browser (or me) tripping? Can't rule out the last option, but it seems a bit strange.

Dankjewel, thanks.

Why is it hidden then? Or is really my pc tripping? I found out about my clan through the language based forum, that's why I have this question.

They haven't been hidden. Just moved up a bit to put them above the Clan and Usergroup forums.

Hmm, okay, you're right. I didn't search enough. Eventhough I understand the decision, I'm sure that these forums will be used even less than they were before. On behalf of the Dutch forum (the only living language subforum, as far as I know) I'll say it's a bit of a disappointment, because no new user is ever gonna find this. You might as well delete it. Perhaps that isn't even a bad idea anyway, because it wasn't used all that much by the countries in this case, but at least make a decision.

The few active Dutchies will keep on posting on De Veroveraars Club, because they already did so, but there will be no new users posting something on an international forum (for whatever language). Is that the intent of the adminstrator? If so, I understand and stop my skirmish for international fora right here.

i'm not sure how its less noticable then before? i never paid much attention to international forums before as they were tucked so far down i didn't care to look ever, where now its higher up and still has a section dedicated to it.

New users will scroll down and see a Dutch forum. They won't click on international that fast to see whats there. Dont underestimate the impact of one click on websites. Our clann gained a lot of New members via the Dutch sub forum, I fully agree with Jb that almost no new user will find the Dutch sub forum now...

All the language forum (dutch included) still is one click away when they see De V sub forum and can go from there. You don't have to click international to get there

Okay, it's obvious we just disagree. That's fine, of course, 't is a matter of opinion.
We'll just start recruiting more active than passive, I guess.

I'd agree it's less obvious now..

yeah... aren't we still waiting on the data to prove how moving the Foundry above the GD increased the traffic to greater than the GD? i remember when that bit of flawed logic was used before. still waiting to see how moving things around increases traffic, because the numbers were promised to the community and never delivered.. ohhhh, team CC... you make me giggle...-el Jesus negro

I didn't say I moved them to increase traffic. I simply said that I moved them.

I believe there is a major language that is not being represented, FOUL LANGUAGE! If we had a forum where people could communicate in foul language then the international languages forum would be complete.
