sub forum in spanish

[camell]

I'd like to do this, but I need at least one Spanish speaking moderator. As you will see from the stats below, which represent unique visitors over the last few weeks, there isn't a lot of use by Spanish speakers and that could be improved. Interesting to note that Dutch figures above German and French in terms of usage.

Isn't there a danger that every language group will ask for a seperate sub forum and that as a result the whole thing will fall apart?

[Bas Pels]

My feeligs are along Marc's. However, I thik Jools his table will fit nicely along a table of knowledge of english * # inhabitants

Therefore we are an interesting forum, but keep an awful lot of knwoledge outside - which I think is regrettable

Stil, I would not know how to solve this dilemma

There is already one in French....

We do have at least one Spanish speaking Mod, but I personally have no problem with people posting in any language to the existing forums. I am happy to translate any Spanish language post in the forums and reply in Spanish and English so that all members can follow. I'll even translate the answers of others if needed. This way everyone can participate in the thread and answers are not limited to the handful of people that read the Language X forum.

My other opinion is that language specific forums bog down the mods. As I would be stuck answering every "How many plecos can I fit in a 10 gallon tank" post in Spanish, HH in Chinese, etc, etc there would be even less time to for "language Mods" to follow and reply to the other forums.
