And this is even more sad, Porf... Inside Romanian board, ~99% of posts are made by me and NeuroticFish...
It's almost the same in the French section...
There must be 5 or 6 of us who are "active"...
90% of posts are off-topic, produced by 3 members who argue non-stop (for years now with always the same arguments) about Islam, terrorism, immigrants and antisemitism. They give to the board a depressive mood, since no matter what they discuss, they'll fall back into their arguments about Arabs and terrorism ; so I understand why all the people interested to discuss BTC just stopped to post.
The overall level of interractions is appalling, I'm not far from just ignoring the local FR entirely at times. More than 50% of our "active posters" are already on my ignore list anyway.
The mod is cool and does his job well, but unfortunately he can neither transplant a brain onto those members, nor give them any interest in discussing BTC-related stuff. He has opened several topics to try to calm this tendency to hijack all the topics, but it doesn't change.
As you say, there are also lurkers and our translations can potentially help some of them, so it's fine.
I'm really sorry to hear that
it must be depressing to be so lonely or to have some local section mates like that. Your work has double the merit.In the Spanish board activity decreased a lot in the last years but at least the atmosphere has always been good there in general, and the few active members who survive get along very well. I wanted that situation to be the same in the rest of local boards, but after your comments it is clear that it is not in all of them.
Russian, Turkish or Indonesian boards seem to be much more active. I wonder what things will be like over there.
