Yes, we asked for the same thing out of curiosity, but we didn't get any response from theymos or any direct response from the staffs, so we kept going, ignoring some of the comments we received on our request thread, where some members told us that it was impossible because English is the official language of Nigerians and the Pidgin cannot be translated, making it difficult to moderate such a board. We eventually decided to lock our official local board request thread and stick to our single local thread. We received the local board when we least expected it. all the best Pakistan!!!!

Has anyone from Pakistan contacted Theymos and Cyrus yet?

Welcome Igebotz new name new you... happy for you on getting the new username. Your efforts in getting your board is an example for us.

Yes I did try to contact theymos recently and Cyrus earlier through PM.

Now our main focus is keeping our current thread active with more construction discussions and from time to time we post our updated stats here in this thread.

That's true local boards are hard to moderate but in the case of Urdu language it can easily be translated from Google and this translation is almost perfect, it's very advanced now. Google is really doing a great job in translating languages now. So I guess from the management perspective it should not be any different from managing any other language board like Arabic or Hindi for example.

Lol thank you i didnt think you would notice the new name... well I'm still the old me with different shell.

You're on the right track, but keep in mind that you might not get a YES or NO response from the admins. Just keep sending reminders, at least that's what theymos told us. You know there are too many requests, so those who keep sending reminders get approved faster, and most importantly, you should keep the board active.

We don't really need a moderator right now because we don't have a child board yet, but we would request one if our activity increased more than what we have now. For the time being, the patroller will clean up the board, and so far we have seen good results. The only thing we are currently lacking is a merit source
