I'll stop you right there because things hardly get added when suggested on the forum, the forum needs some modification but the administration aren't doing things fast to solved this complaints and suggestions. We need local boards and I think that's the most important boards that should be added to the forum because anything you think about can fit under an already exiting boards. For those that'll be suggesting anything related to altcoins like NFT, Metaverse etc, we have the altcoins boards that should cover all the discussion relating to altcoins.
Local board can not just be given. People requesting for it should work hard to get it. To have a local board, the people in the country posting on this forum must be very active on the local thread. If they have certain number of activity daily, the admin will give them local board. It is not up to a year that Nigeria was given a local board when their local thread was very active. As Nigerians convince admin, other people that needs local board should convince the admin by making their local board active with more posters and number of posts.In addition to local boards we need local moderator that'll help the newly created boards to function properly, I applaud the globally moderators because they're doing a good job but sometimes due to the limitations of their language and them not been able to understand the language been discussed on the local board, decision aren't handled on time or at all. Alots of volunteers will be willing to handle the moderation jobs for the forum so the.admins should think about screening them and allow them to help keep the forum intact.
If the moderators are not doing their work properly on local board, you can bring evidence and the need for a moderator on the local board. If you do not have a moderator and you need more boards on your local board, you can ask for the board from admin. If topics that should belong to another child board is discussed more on local board, ask for the creation of the child board. July 13, 2023, 01:56:59 AM
New boards can easily be created, but unless there are ongoing discussions about them, they will either end up being dead sections or turning into spam.
in order for the discussion to be good and ongoing you need a compelling reason or good software, let's take the Lightning Network as a hot topic the number of topics during the last 120 days is less than 200 'Guess numbers' and every week there is an average of 20 topics that are created. Even if this board is created, it will slowly die with time.
I agree with you that some of the current boards 'Project Development, Economics, Beginners & Help' need either new mods or to amend their definition.

gradually through the years the forum has grown and developed with more and more sections and boards meeting up with trending demands for discuss.
Do you think or feel any need that there are sections and boards that are currently lacking in the forum and should be added. Or that certain general boards/section names should be modified based on current revolutionized changes over the years.

Making more boards, sub-boards or even renaming existing boards don’t seem to be of much essence to me.
For what by the way?
To accommodate more and more spams?
Like I said, it isn’t a necessity as most of the boards we have here have proved themselves broad enough to be well accommodative and there are still a lot of users here that haven’t taken the time to visit every sub-board that exists on the forum. That’s how broad the forum is!
We can’t go about creating boards for every innovation that occurs in the crypto space.
I’ll say, let’s work with what we’ve got and if you take a close look at it, you just might find the right board to accommodate just anything you hope to discuss about.

It's imperative to add more sub- boards to the forum,..but you're not to decide that as well. I'm in concordance to what the first poster said; it's dawn on Theymos to decide if it's really necessary to create those sub-boards.
If you can look at it from a good perspective, you'll realize that these boards would only end up making the whole forum too cumbersome to search within....and it's also likely to bear the same topics as every other boards we've got, so what's the point?... BTW, most of the boards we've got already can as well - be suitable to post topics on cyber insecurities as y'all mentioned.
P/s: it's fine to always make suggestions,.. didn't dispute that.

Adding a "Cybersecurity and Privacy" board to the forum sounds like a good idea! We could have discussions about the latest threats, exchange helpful tips and resources, and ask questions to learn from one another. I cannot think of any downsides to this proposal.
July 12, 2023, 03:40:20 PM
The forum gets much less traffic than in the past and there are fewer threads opened every day. There is no need to add new boards right now. In fact some of the existing ones can even be archived due to inactivity. In order to open a new board, a large part of the existing board should be filled with topics about considered section. Otherwise, there is no need to open a new board.

I believe the existing sections are well-organized in the sense that they cover practically everything a forum user requires. Almost all life patterns, as well as social and economic factors, have been covered in the sections.

I additionally don't believe there is a need for additional subsections because some of us here have yet to go around the forum because we have no business with other sections; hence, creating more will be ineffective in my opinion.

You are not an admin, you do not need to ask for anything like this. I am expecting admin to request for something like this, not a member.
We have many boards on the forum already but if we need more boards, these are the most important two:
Request: "Cybersecurity and Privacy" board + Poll
and
Lightning network board.

You're absolutely correct mate am not a moderator neither an admin, but then if am not mistaking, from your recommendations in your comment I won't be wrong to say we're on same page despite it's not in my place to request for such, of which it's not a request but a thought for discussion among interested forum members. And just maybe the moderators and admins might envision a need for a new kind of board based on those two you mentioned above and more other convincible ones that other members may eventually recommend too.We have many boards on the forum already but if we need more boards, these are the most important two:

Op you quote a thread that was created since April 22, 2010, 04:57:16 PM which Satoshi was probably active in the forum and asking admin to create more sections and boards in the forum. Op on your own do want to discuss anything that there is no board for the it? Op what is your main purpose of creating this thread? You have not said the truth. Op you don't have to ask us if we think to create any extra board or section you should tell us why you create this thread. If you are lack of topics to create then make comments for your campaign counting posts.
Op it is better your lock this thread. This your thread has nothing to contribute.

Addition of more forum boards/sections and modifications. Any need currently?
This looks as if theymos is asking or atleast one of the moderators. If you feel there are boards that need to be created, you start by naming them and saying the reason(s) you think they need to be added to the forum. Not just asking a random question when you actually lack the power to enforce whichever suggestions that would arise.
I have seen people suggest security boards, nft board etc but it seems theymos is unwilling to add more board to this old software. That being said, the forum is fine and more boards are not needed unless when a particular local thread is worth to be granted a board, it will be done by the admins.

A Bengali local board is an urgent and should be the top priority.
Are you an alt of theymos and trying to figure out secretly what is necessary and what isn't. Let me know when Bengali board will be added sir.

If you could remember well that the purpose for the creation of this platform is for bitcoin discussion and i think the most important aspect of it has already been covered enough through various boards created for bitcoin discussions, creating an additional board (s) makes no difference when there's no need arising for such and we couldn't give more priority to other discussions than the needs to maintain the most important aspects of discussion here which is still all about bitcoin, making an additional boards could encourage spamming and creates avenue for trolling, from what i could see, there's no need for creating any additional board.

We definitely need Cyber Security board with some child boards. At the moment we can compensate them by opening threads where we will have discussion about different topics, like the one I have about VPNs but board would be a better choice. There are a lot of things to discuss about, including Operational Systems, software and hardware backdoors, VPNs, Tor Network, account security, how to protect from malware attacks and so on.
At the moment I can't think of anything other than Cyber Security board.

No wonder forum has gain more traffic and it will gain even more but i think addition of more categories is not that easy like our local board has increased its numbers of users. They are active too throughout the month. We even share our monthly stats from we can easily check the activity our local members are doing here.
But still after putting a request we are unable to get our own board. We are still a thread or you can say a topic. The point is, i just wanted to say the whole thing of adding new sections is not up to us this is upto the moderators like theymos etc.

I personally don't think there is any board missing that I would love to see, as I can see everything perfectly the way it is, and I interact on boards that I find interesting. If there is any need for any board to be considered, then I believe there will be a more recognized way of doing that, maybe by creating a request topic like the ones that have been mentioned by _act_, but those are just requests; it's when the Administration finds it interesting that it could be given consideration.
So if there is any board that you think is missing on the forum, you can make your suggestions and requests and hope for some positive outcome, which everyone's opinion must not be in your favor.
