I am surprised that the Philippines subforum (well, sub-thread) is that huge. To be honest it's the first time I've ever looked at the "Other languages" section and i've been in here for years now. It was a pleasant surprise. With that amount of posts, I think they deserve a subforum.. if a country will benefit from Bitcoin, those are countries like Philippines.


Yes hundreds of pages of post

Almost 20 unique users

That's the issue.

How can you prove it? If in reality those hundreds of pages came from 20 unique users how can you handle if we double the number to 40 then hundres will turn to thousands precisely.

I guess he is still referring on this post of BadBear way back July 2015 Roll Eyes
Well, I was bored so here's the math.

The past 7 days (little over by a few hours, +~12).

140 posts, 20 unique users, average of 20 posts a day.

10 users posted 3 times or less.

Top 5 posters account for 95 of 140 posts, top 3 account for 72.



An entire new section is probably not needed yet.  
  



Personally I think there are more Filipinos in this forum but they just don't prefer to post, they're just lurking , which I guess explains the views of the thread.

he dont really have proofs on that, anyone can say there are hundreds or thousands of unique users and he can say only 20. only the admins can tell how many unique users really there are so his statement shouldn't be taken seriously. its obvious he had some bad past against Filipinos

I don't believe in denial.
I assume this is just change of Xenforo script.
Theres too much at risk if Theymos starts a new one from scratch considering the amount of contents and the link back going to the pages of the forum.

You can find all discussions about the new forum software at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0

How will that work though? Does it mean everyone will be back as a newbie? And what will happen to sig campaigns?

do you mean the new forum? AFAIK all stats and infos will be carried over to the new forum, sig campaigns will still be there and it depends on the campaign management if they still want to continue advertising in the forum thru signatures

The Philippines will get their own sub when Theymos finishes launching the new multi-million-dollar forums.

Any day now...

Well this is a good news for us Filipinos then but do you have any reliable source to confirm this? Just wanna make sure cuz all I know right now is having our own sub forum will be impossible

EDIT: I was being facetious; I have no idea when the new forums are launching, or if management will look down from their ivory tower and bestow a sub to our Filipino friends.

Im losing hope too in having our own sub section but it's ok. No worries. Smiley

Until the end I don't see any clear concern by Mr. Talangka Express why he strongly disagree about the concern. All his questions has been answered properly but still... anyways it's fine now.

Hopefully that he can now peacefully sleep every night as this concern was already accepted by our fellow kabayan that it won't be granted.

P.S : Have your BP check as your kabayan concern.

Or is it still just Theymos's and Badbear's subjective opinion that make the decision?!?


Yes.

But i have to ask a question?

Do you think they should also bring back Wowowee?

That has a better chance than you getting a sub-forum.



~BCX~



It seems you know a lot about us Filipinos , I'm wondering Roll Eyes

Anyways I am starting to lose hope on getting our own sub-forum (cuz of the recent issues about shitposters) , I somehow agree with you, maybe bringing back Wowowee has a better chance than having our own sub-forum here Cheesy

I think you win, I should give you a jacket Grin

Yes.[...]

That sucks, in the "spirit of BTC" (decentralisation, power to the people and all that) that decision should be transparent, publicly known and controllable...


Do you think they should also bring back Wowowee?

What does that has to do with anything (discussed here in this topic)? (Please don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question... It's simply off-topic.)


That has a better chance than you getting a sub-forum.[...]

Why? That's bull! There is an obvious NEED for one (better numbers in both views as well as participation by unique visitors than a lot of "Local" sub-sections that DO exist)...

BTW I personally have nothing to do with Philippines, so you don't have to get personal (by using "you") either. I am only noticing that that topic has a disproportional activity in the "Other languages/locations" topic.

@Xian01

It was an answered officially on the second page of this thread by Badbear.

Theymos and Badbear are the only ones that can create new sub-forums.

There is no need or enough unique use to warrant a new sub-forum.

The 20 or so individuals and their alts posting hundreds of pages in thread are fooling no one.



~BCX~



Well there was a reaction on those numbers too; they (the Philippino's numbers) are still a lot better than the numbers on a lot of existing language sub-sections (like, for instance: Hebrew, Croatian and Korean)...

So then comes the question: what are the objective numbers needed? Or is it still just Theymos's and Badbear's subjective opinion that make the decision?!?
