Hello dear, I see what you're trying to do but in trying to get yourself a local board by riding on the success of the Nigerian local baord, don't make it seems like we deserve this achievement any less please. You guys should work on your request and put some determinations into your request, we did similar thing and it worked out for us. The dominance of Nigerian on the forum in less than 3years since the availability of the hangout thread has been impressive, We even have some many users that have identify themselves to be Nigerians (with me) but are yet to identify with the community due to the fear of been discriminated but we let their wishes be (the forum is anonymous so we can't force an identity on anyone).

I see you comparing the numbers but I don't think it's all about that in getting your request approved, you had just 18 active members last month while we had over 70, all engaging in production discussion as we mandated on the thread with low quality been deleted (discouraged). Lets talk about the activeness of our local users on the general forum, you can take a look at the names on the table, alot of them are quite productive on the general forum and Nigeria like thread are filled all over the forum.

You guys should come together and make some quality noise for yourself and try to encourage other native users to engage on your thread and carry your total engagement up in regards to users contributing to the thread instead of posts been made. Goodluck on your request, make it a little less competitive but appealing.

There you CryptopreneurBrainboss. Sorry if you felt this way it wasn't supposed to be a competitive comparison but an exemplary one.

You are right there are active members for us too but they are afraid to identify as Pakistani due to the fear of being discriminated against.

Regarding the definition of active members I included only members which are active in last couple of months on our Pakistan Thread only, not bitcointalk overall forum and If you notice I did not even included the creator of Pakistan thread Abdussamad (OP) himself

Abdussamad (Legendary)   Last Active:   December 13, 2022
But I didn't include him since he's not participating in local discussion.

If I start finding Pakistani users on forums active (but not posting on Pakistan thread) I'm sure I can cross 100.

However some user you included I will consider them inactive for example

Soldierswitlittlefaith  Last Active:   September 19, 2021
Theoboy  Last Active:   November 21, 2021
nelson4lov  Last Active:   April 18, 2022

So if you ask me a fair comparison of active members is 29 vs 52

And this has been consistent for the last few months ... not that bad if you agree?

Number of active members per local board during October 2022


So please I will request for your support too, I know it is difficult for us but let's have patience for each other, let's learn something for other communities.

(P.S. It's a truth that Indian, Pakistani, Bengalis will never support each other and the same goes to African people too. We never support each other but we are always ready to point fingers.)
