Yes it is improved and improving day by day. And still we are waiting for the management's announcement.
It's been a couple of weeks since this topic started, did you really expect to get it done so fast? We waited for months to get a couple of child boards added so don't expect to get local board request approved in the matter of weeks. Its just the way things work around here.
And again I will say that this is a big ? on the management which is not responding. Or even not telling the criteria for the local board. Shahzadafzal is trying to contact with the management and he didn't get any reply yet. Hope they will reply soon.
Its been already explained to you that you shouldn't expect from forum staff to share you criteria needed, based on previous experience (Nigerians didn't get any feedback on that matter either). Focus on your own local topic and when they think that you are ready, you will get your own local board.
