Inactive Local Boards in the Forum.

[Rruchi man]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
