I really don't see what the drawback or issue for the forum admins on not creating the board. Maybe they have to do a bit of programming to set up the board and assign a moderator for the board. Fail to understand the exact reason for delaying board creation???
You have registered on the forum back in 2015 so how many how new boards addition you have seen from @theymos till then? It's not that if there is no drawback they will have it implemented on the urgent basis and they will take time considering lot of factors.The Nigerian community has it's own board after years of request and actively participating in the local thread discussion with lot of merits as well so @theymos have a separate board for them now.So now same is the case with Pakistani board as well and if @theymos find it suitable he will make addition for it if he find it's needed otherwise they can keep their request bumped and community support in future.
Since 2015, i have seen only Nigerian boards being created recently. I am not aware if any other board is created at that time.
Lots of discussions and active participation can be one of the reasons for the creation of a local board, don't think a lot of merits should be the criteria or it can be if we are looking for quality.
Quality>quantity.
