If we make a "Nordic" forum the language would have to be English. Having different languages (that not everybody understands) mixed in the same forum is just messy. So one solution would be two have 2 forums, one "Nordic" where the language is English and one "Scandinavian" where the language is Swedish/Danish/Norwegian.

You are still completely sidestepping the finnish Scandinavians.

I don't mind having a discussion about this but then you'll have to give me a bit more than one-line-answers. Is the problem that there is no place to post in Finnish? That we exclude Finland from the definition of "Scandinavia"? Is it about people living in Denmark, Norway and Sweden that only speak Finnish? Help me out.

Thing is, I belong to the 6% native swedish in Finland, so talking for the finnish is only my secondary interest. That said, common sense tells me that you should appreciate the establishing effect that btct bears on the cryptocoin world, and excluding over 5 million people out, from a naturally formed subforum, because finnish "looks messy" compared to the anglo-saxian languages is just plain irresponsible.
The ones speaking both english and finnish will help out the ones only speaking finnish and before you know Finland will again be a European first in the next big thing. You are stomping on such synergial effects potential that it gets me a bit exhausted even having to write why. Hence the one-liners.
Get a second opinion, maybe do a poll too, take in the big picture.
The finns like and are liked among the other SCANDINAVIANS and usually make up with acts what they lack in communication. Do not exclude such a people from where they have all the right in the world to be.

This discussion is not mine, so this will be the last post from me here.
