Did you read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121680.msg57255308#msg57255308

This is Bitcointalk, not just a simple forum to be compared with.

I think the question should be 'if there is English thread, will Pidgin thread be affected? Not the other way around.

If there is an active member requesting for such, I think it should not be a problem because the member wants to contribute in English on this forum which will go us far if others also support it. I still do not get why denying ourselves of the English everyone can speak and write?

Is Indian a native English country? Why should only Pidgin be here? Just a genuine reason? Other languages are on translators, I even saw Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa on translators, where is Pidgin? If Pidgin is not on any translator, if you want to apply for another merit source, who will read it translate it when it can not be translated. We need a language that can be used to examine us by others on this forum for support and mind convincing. And not that Pidgin board will be left inactive, it will still be active.

PS: I'd be replying in English.

You've made a valid argument. I don't really know how the merit source selection works. In the time our community has been in Pidgin and English. That's has been the status quo around here. Tbvh, I've seen people emphasize on pidgin being the main and probably - the only used language for expression. For me, I ultimately believe everyone has a choice to make on which language to use for expressing themselves in this community. That said, I have no problem with anyone regardless of which language they use. That's the reason why I was asking if there's any reason why there should be dedicated threads for each language. Another point to note is that, there would be a split in community discussions since we might have different topics of discussion at the same times in these threads.

Like I said, I don't know how how the merit source selections work or how other sub boards operate. But if you feel this would be a great step for us all to take, then you have my backing. I'm down for whatever would take our community to the next level as I have a vested interest in seeing this community grow.
