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.

Please don't misquote me like that, I certainly never said that Finnish looks messy compared to the other languages. I said that mixing different languages in the same forum gets messy.

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 really make it sound like I have something against Finland. This is not about that. We can have a forum in Finnish, a forum in English and/or a forum in Swedish/Danish/Norwegian, it's all fine with me. If we're serious about creating a community with all the Nordic countries the language should probably be English, cause it won't be easy for people from Finland to become part of a community here if 90% of everything is written in Danish, Norwegian or Swedish.

Get a second opinion, maybe do a poll too, take in the big picture.

I posted the initial guidelines a few weeks ago , in English, and left the thread open for comments and suggestions. But sure, we can have a poll too, no problem.

The finns like and are liked among the other SCANDINAVIANS.

I know. I specifically called them 'awesome' in the guidelines. Smiley
