Sure the local board need to grow but before we go carry any request go worry theymos we go need give am better reason not to decline our request.. okay you dun being topics wey supposed dey other subboard and now how many bitcoin related discussion wey we get to stay for the main board and keep it active? Also when we go drop this request (which will be very soon) we don't have to make it in English language (just an opinion). The names of the baord can be in local dialect go make sense. Even some other locals board wey dey talk English get their boards in their local language although others have in English as well.

Also for the offtopic matter, naming that board offtopic will reduced the engagement on those board because we all know off topic discussion doesn't count for campaign. And while topics that sounds offtopic to others isn't to Nigerians so maybe something like "Others discussion" for just make sense for that particular boards so e fit contain other discussion and still dey attract posters. Make we no begin dey do too strict for this baord and forcing everyone to discuss Bitcoin when nothing much about Bitcoin dey happen for the country abi na to dey discuss Blord trying to buy Woodberry BTC from the FBI wey we go begin dey discuss for Bitcoin discussion?.

Both English and Pidgin would be better, it would make sense if the child boards are like that, we have many local dialects in Nigeria and this will only lead to low engagement in the discussion. We all understand English and Pidgin and this would be better to be the languages on child boards. As usual.

I have tried enough not to be strict. Maybe you think that I am stict, but I am not. I am only suggesting what that is best. Proposing child boards does not mean someone is stict. And that does not mean other people can not still go against it which is normal. It would happen until nearly all of us accept the proposal and know that theymos would likely accept the proposal.

Theymos will accept the proposal when the board we need is more discussed about on the first page of the main board. Like if the topics is half of the discussion. Politics and society is almost like that.

For politics and society board, there is high chance that theymos will accept that. Although I do not know of off-topic board (but which he supposed to accept too), which we need to have. Many local boards that are not active up to us have several child boards. Although, we can understand the reason, because our board is still new. But there should be development in the process as we have more posts on the single board. I do not consider the approach as strictness, but a way to further make the local board better.

On the image I posted above in my previous post on this thread to this one, if I should only leave the threads that are related to bitcoin, less than 5 would likely remain, but I left 19/20 topics. The topics I left are those for bitcoin, altcoins, cyber security, banks and economic related, exchanges and maybe some others. I only strictly pointed to politics & society and off-topics.

We can give suggestions about the naming, even we may decide to name politics and society another name but similar. Other discussions is similar to off-topic. Because other board name theirs off-topic does not mean we should name ours off-topic. Other discussion is very similar and we can name it that as well.

I am looking forward to the day we are going to have politics and society board. Having it does not mean it is off-topic. Having it does not also means that it would not count under some campaigns. But we should not only because of campaign think we should not structure the local board the way it should be.
