In my personal opinion, what I think about this is that there may be different rules and requirements of different forums about the local board, and maybe all the local boards that you have mentioned may have completed those rules and requirements earlier. And that's why they got their local board. I see some such inactive boards in the others forum as well.
Although I personally think that it is better not to keep the local boards which are inactive in the list of local board, although later if they are active again, it would be better to return their board to them.

I thought when I read the title of this thread that the conversation was going to discuss ideas, promote criteria and somehow increase traffic to local languages, but OP is worried that admin wasted his time, seriously, man, in reality this forum has more sections and diversity of topics that make it accessible to a large community,
I think that in principle that is the idea, not to let users escape regardless of where they come from.
For example, you do not mention the Spanish board, but that is not indicative that the section is better than those mentioned. It is just that by not being in your data table, it only indicates that there is activity, but how good is that activity.
That said, when looking at those boards that you mention, I am not surprised by their low traffic in some of them, because let's say that population-wise it is a low density of users.
But in our case, there are more than 500 million Spanish speakers, it is not justified that the monthly limit is sometimes 5 users, and I think I am exaggerating.
Finally, let's talk about what can be done, things like improving SEO, encouraging participation, etc.
-
Aside the local boards mentioned by op, there are several other boards that are not active too, can we really say or assume that the admin made a mistake in creating all of those boards that are inactive and he is possibly regretting it? The answer is a capital No if you ask me.
The forum naturally is yet to start getting enough traffic from different countries, so it's very possible that local boards with less number of users from a country tied to that local board will not be as active, but certainly, such board will become active as soon as the forum becomes more popular and people from different countries start flocking to the forum..
Even btt have some boards that are not really active, can we say that Theymos made a mistake creating such boards, the answer is no.

Why would you regret it?
He didn't pay the monthly rent for it, so he had extra expenses for those boards. Now at least it is safe, he gave such local boards a chance, but there was not enough interest and activity.
The reason for this can be different things, for example, the Netherlands has a lot of restrictions when it comes to crypto or casinos, maybe that also demotivates people to get involved in such discussions.

It's all with time like I did mention in my comment above, you are absolutely right about the admin having nothing to regret, crypto is still a growing industry, ecosystem, business or call it whatever, and as more people get involved, and this forum positioning itself well to receive new users from all around the world, it's just a matter of time and those boards that seem deserted at the moment will all pop back to become lively, the magic is adoption, as crypto adoption grows in all countries, more people will join forums like this and traffic will be driven to every board - it's all a matter of time.

Yeah, regional restrictions Could be a big demotivation for members from such regions, but aside that the admin has nothing to lose and in fact this helps him to solve future demands if at any point those local boards decide to become active, and there will not be any need to start creating a board for them.
Lastly, I think those boards won't remain inactive forever because as time goes on, we will many of the members in the forum from such places will locate their local communities and start engaging in discussions.
-
There are actually many inactive boards and local boards including the "chinese local" most of these boards where created on expectations that these boards will be filled of users after the surge of users here teleported from bitcointalk (if i'm not mistaken). One of the reasons why admin posted to find moderators on all of these boards as i was notified from the telegram bot for admin's posts.
-
I think we need to define inactive boards before we make judgments about them.
Are inactive boards boards that do not have active members or active discussions?
For example, in my local board there are only two active members but the number of views is high. Is this board inactive or active?
If there are no active members, no posts, or low views, then it is better to archive that board instead of deleting it. Otherwise, there is no need to do anything.
-
if really the creation of these boards actualized?
I won't do anything for those local boards, every once in a while a native speaker will find theirs. This forum wasn't had good quality discussions for years, but that doesn't bother him. Then admin have just made a brilliant initiative that has increased traffic and attracted a few advertisers, we can't expect big changes all around too soon.

Regional restrictions? How? Bitcoin is decentralized and we can participate in any corner of the world and that is where p2p was created to support the buying and selling. And also if those regions were restricted then the post view in the local board would have also reduce but the post view in those boards are very high.
Are inactive boards boards that do not have active members or active discussions?
Yes the inactive boards are the ones that do not have active members and active discussions because the boards were created to have active discussions and not for them to only view and go without making any contribution or commitment. I also try to know our Neighbor's Country "Ghana" why the decline of posts and activities, since when I created the thread till date, there is no comment but it is more than 5k views. And meaning they are in the forum and in the board but don't want to make any comment or post. Then what is the essence of creating the board when the owners can't comment their instead they prefer the general board.

That's true bitcoin has the decentralized system that any corner from the world people can use it if they have access the internet. If I talk about our region then bitcoin is illegal in our region even then there are large scale of people are conducting with it and as well as our local board is also one of the active board on the bitcointalk forum and also the altcoinstalk forum.
But there are also limitation if government do that kinds of surveillance like people can't use their bank account while buy bitcoin or cryptocurrency with the fiat. But I don't think that the Board you have mention all of these region have these kind of issues.

Your points are valid. Because some time we get tired to scroll up the forum, I think it is not only matter about the local board I think those which boards are not in active or can be merged it should be done. That will makes the forum more formalized.
And if I talk about the local board which are in active I have also the question why not they should be transfer on the others board or is this not possible right now ? because there are lots of child board and topic in those boards.

In the month of February 2021, Nigeria government banned cryptocurrency mostly Bitcoin from all the commercial banks and other monetary institutions yet Nigeria was ranked in 2021 and 2022 as the highest cryptocurrency traded country in Africa and second to the world. And right now the government is fighting against Centralized exchanges but we are stable and gallant in the industry. In most time we buy and sell from those we know. Even me have bought from people I know many times and and sell to them as well.
-
I don't see a problem with inactive local boards.
I see problem with inactive boards related to stuff that would fit in an active board...
But local boards are very region specific , no problem in keeping them.
They might get some activity later. Who knows
-
It is true that there are several boards with hardly any activity and even, as the OP comments, without activity for years. But considering the general activity of the forum since before December of last year, I don't think it's a cause for concern either. The forum continues to grow, maybe not at the rate we would all like, but it is a fact, so I suppose it is a matter of time before these boards are active again.
I think it is much better to have these boards created from the beginning of the forum than not to have them, at any time there will always be users interested in being able to use them.
-
They might get some activity later. Who knows
Yes but those boards that the users are viewing posts every day, why is it that they can't comments on those posts that they are viewing. Is it that all the viewers are form another local board? And if any local board which is inactive now that will bounce back should be the ones those users have been viewing their local board posts. And some of the boards have last view from last year. And one thing I discovered that the users are active in the forum. Let's see how it will be for three years to come.

If I talk about my country here, it will go to more extreme level, because the government has arrested a lot of people who are involved in Cryptocurrency in the last year as well. You will be surprised to know that a man was arrested as a fraudster for buying an Audi with only bitcoins. And also our Bangladesh administration is constantly arresting those who are involved in USDT buying and selling on Binance through various traps. Now coming to the main point still a report revealed that around four million people in Bangladesh are involved with cryptocurrency. In fact, our government could not ban cryptocurrency or Bitcoin to prevent people from joining it.

I understand what you are saying. In Nigeria 2019 to 2020 any boy who dressed neat were arrested for fraudsters and police brutality was rampantly everywhere so that lead to the serious protest against police brutality and lot of properties were destroyed and people were killed and in 2021, the government banned cryptocurrency in the country. And arrest were made but tht didn't stop the youth to use bitcoin. I really understand you, and you people should use anonymous way to do your trading.

Bangladesh vs Nigeria are two countries with similar crypto climb down nature, and if you have being following up with the events in both countries you will still fine alot of similarities that suggest and point to how hard their are towards cryptocurrency adoption and how their control their citizens trust is relate and use crypto currency.
But the having such hustal environment and approach to bitcoin could trigger the loss of interest in crypto from citizens of such countries, even though the government can't stop its citizens from cryptocurrency usage.
-

I guess you're right, those boards aren't active now but as we all know the forum is getting more active on daily basis and there's chance to see many new members in coming months and if that happens then surely most of those boards will be active.
-
Many of us here don't know on what ground those local boards we find inactive now were created before. What gave rise to their creation? Was there a time they had many members from those local boards in this forum or did the moderators have the local boards created, just in case "in the future" the forum had to have them in this forum, there won't be any need of having a new board opening for them.
Only the moderators can give us answers and explanations to all these questions of why the inactive boards we see now are created in the first place
-

Yes we saw some local boards are inactive. I think need active Moderator for that's local boards. Should not be excluded at all. We all know that Our Forum day by day being popular. Engagement increasing gradually. So many people involving and will involve in future. So i think not excluded will need include new new local boards. So i think if we found active Moderator then that's local boards will lively again.
-

If there were created by the request from the members of the local language, I think it would been better. Though I don't know how it was created either by request or willingness from the admin.
I think "they" need active Moderator for that's local boards.
I add the THEY for you because it was omitted. And coming to the Moderators of those boards, there are moderators in those boards, if not local Moderators then general moderators are there. And the present of the moderators have nothing to do with the activeness of the members.

<snip>
Well, I am a local member of the Pakistan board but there are only a few active members in the Pakistan board. Me and some of my forum friends doing our best to bring some new local users to this forum so that we can have more active members in our local board and in this way, our board can get more active than before. When I came back online after some long time then I realized that no one was posting on the local board then I mentioned some of the good users to make at least two posts on the local board to keep our local active.
Well for the current time, we are doing posts on our local board on a daily basis so that our board stays active and but sometimes we missed to post in local because there is no post to which we can reply but after a day when another one make a post then I reply according to my knowledge and in this way, we are struggling to make our local board active.
-

I'm not sure that why all those local boards were created but I guess it was somehow inspired by Bitcointalk, however there's nothing wrong in having those local boards as in future we may see members of those local boards joining this forum and generating activity on those boards.
As of now those board should stay there or they should be locked so no spammer can create spam threads on those boards.

Although there are similarities, I would say that the situation in Nigeria is much better than Bangladesh in this regard because in your country the ban on functional currency was already lifted in 2023. Bangladesh is saying that cryptocurrencies will be legalized four or five years ago. But so far no good action has been taken here. On the other hand more people are being harassed.
But the interesting thing is that even though people are being harassed here, the number of users is increasing day by day instead of decreasing. However, what is currently going on with the exchange in your country will actually be a harassment to crypto user friends.
-
We can't force people to write in their local boards if they don't want to do it, and we shouldn't do that.
One way to bring activity is with making some competitions that needs local activity, but this should be voluntary action only.
Even in bitcointalk forum activity of some local boards is not good at all.
-
These are some of the local boards which I discovered that has not been making any contribution in the forum for a long time.
maybe there are just not enough members to keep the board running but there are still a few that needed that. there’s nothing we can do about it
Would the admin regret of creating this Boards?
i would hope not because these boards were created for a reason instead of immediately deleting some of them i would recommend for a member of each board to create a little project that could encourage people in their country to post or interact with and on the local board
it will be a shame to delete some as it signals inactivity and inadequate participation
-

I am not saying that the boards should be deleted but was curious to know what really caused the inactiveness of those boards. Because if a thread is created, you wouldn't see any comments but the number of views for two days would surprised you. It would be more than 200. So I don't think they don't have enough participants in those boards. Someone also attested to it in his local board. So the question is what do you think should be done. Though answers have been given. But contribution continues.

The people who are supposed to bring activity to these boards in this forum will either come and join the forum soon; we will expect them as long as these boards is open, or others who are already members of this forum will most likely become active with time.
Two years is not long enough for conclusion to be made that a board in the forum is inactive.

For me it too early to start saying that those local boards are not active like others, and we should not use the activness of our own local board to judge other local boards activities, for me the forum is still very young at development and at thay we may likely have done well by creating and having those local boards and waiting for those from those inactive localboard to pick their bearing in the future.
Right to say that the idea is already practiced on bitcointalk.org and we can see how helpful having a localboard have been to mostly newbies who can feel more free asking questions from those he she is from the same local with, so let give this forum sometime to pick up.

Yes, agree with you, the forum is quite young when it comes to activity and all those local boards will gain activity overtime. I believe those local boards should not be removed as of now and if they have no activity for months then it's okay to archive some of those otherwise if there's even some activity then it's better to let those boards be part of this forum.
I know that how hard it's to get a local board in Bitcointalk because I have personally noted many active local board application threads where users make so many posts on daily basis but still those aren't getting accepted as local boards and native speakers of those countries are still trying their best to get their own local boards. They can at least enjoy their local boards on this forum until they might get their local boards on Bitcointalk too.

This does make sense, but that's the reason why users suggests them to be removed, maybe just temporarily remove since admin can do it on forum settings to hide/disable boards probably.
And with that do like bitcointalk did, like general local boards "Other languages/locations" where a single thread is created for such language. Once it gets more activity/replies they can request to open a new local board for them.

That can be a good step but at the same time it can be burdensome for the admin. I know it might be possible to disable some boards temporarily but it won't be helpful at all because once those boards dedicated threads get more activity then at such times the admin has to enable the local board again but still that local board will be full of the posts that were created in past.
