Language Forums section is BAD idea

[Domagon]

I just noticed the Language Forums section ... seems like a bad idea.

The vast majority who visit DNForum are here foremost to do business...

Emphasizing language differences could potentially split the marketplace at DNForum...

...with most of the "hurt" falling upon those who choose to use the Language Forums because, over time, many will likely distance themselves from the rest of the forums / activity on the site; miss out on socializing with many DNF members who will never go into another language forum.

Some things that seem like good ideas really aren't ... again, please reconsider the Language Forums section.

This forum is not about learning other languages. It should be a unified bazaar to exchange domains and trade services. English is perfect for this - and it's not even my primary language. I didn't pay to be Exclusive in order to have a cornucopia of funny languages like a tower of Babel. You guys want to chat in Spanish, Chinese, Martian - go make your own for God's sake.

wow, that was very open-minded, wasnt it? :greenwink:

Acroplex, seriously, I dont think this matter is so serious, is it?

I do not care other languages but I do not want in "today's post" all languages. I recently read DNF only by clicking "Today's post", if half of it will be another languages it will cost me a lot of time to go through it

I second this post ...

No more additional thread, this forum is too much section and way above my head. Beside when you sell we use number e.g. $100 not IDN or siento, etc. for offers.

It's serious enough to discuss it here over 3 pages. And I stick to my guns.

IDN is not a money symbol.

 

[letmesaymmmm]

when are they going to implement the translation option

 

[wrdekle]

But, if everybody speaking a different language than English would request an own section we would not need to bother calling us community.

It's true and I for one am against taking people's money if they don't speak English. Furthermore, I hate the fact that foreigners can invest their dirty non dollars in our proud US company stock. We need to demand that they keep their grubby little paws off OUR economy. Lord knows we don't need a huge market, we just need an english speaking one. Thank God that Iraq is turning the corner....

Of course i know IDN, don't know think?
My point is ... when you buy or sell a name we use $$$$ not mexican, chinese or other currency ..

this dicussion will go on ... and my voice will not matter anyway. I will go back to the sale section and use my universal language $ hehehe

Perhaps "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. No one was screaming for language forums, and we all got along okay <--- and normal smilie code has never worked here either see, lol. Oh well.

I third this.
I use the "Today's Post" link also and would not like to have to sift through it.

GiantDomains makes a good point: I don't recall there being a thread (I might be wrong) asking for multi-language. The for-sight of the admins to see this as a future option is valuable, but KISS rule I think applies
(KISS= Keep It Simple Silly)

Once the Basic code and fuction of the forum returns and the many number of projects DNF is undertaking should take president.

(KISS= Keep It Simple Silly)

I live by the KISS rule too, but I know it as Keep Is Simple Stupid....

Just for the record, if I close a deal with an european member (there are lots of them here, I thought everyone was aware of that) the transaction takes place using €UROS.

And if the deal is with a north american or someone from a country with a different currency, then yes, I convert my asking price (in euros) to dollar$.

That´s funny...let say a non english speaker wants your domain for a million bucks....would you say the same? I doubt...:twitch:

Weird, I am a European member, but generally prefer to deal in US$. Why should I convert any asking price into Euros or vice versa if the used currency here and on other forums is US$ ???

So, if I deal with a British member, one of us would have to convert. Whatever, it´s a mess...

Stick with US$, everybody knows what the prices are...otherwise we will - apart from the foreign language section - soon have scenarios as :

Domain : xxxxxxx.com
Price: $1000 / 600,-- GBP / 950,--€

As stated, what a mess...:tape:
