It would be nice that you know how hard working Nigerians are and as such are good at contributing to the development of wherever they find themselves. It may please you to know about our monthly overview by Igebotz. This initiative has fast developed the board and making members to be active while on-boarding of new members also. So far it has contributed to the growth of this platform because more Nigerians have registered so far and also creating of bitcoin awareness and adoption. I believe these are just the few amongst the numerous reasons why our request was granted to have our own local board.

Ok OK, I thought you were referring to development at a technical level like some updates or some types of tools like Ninja had made. We also have the monthly overview charts made by Hamza2424 he is a hardworking dude. Spending his time in making all these and it really has helped us too, to identify how much we have progressed. But unfortunately, there are not that many members in our local community maybe that is why we are not getting any local board.

But the numbers are increasing slowly, and I hope at some time in the future we will be able to get our own board. Because one the board was made the members will automatically increase. Just like it increased when you got you. And I am happy for you guys. The overall, development in the posts and the number of members on BTT, did increase and you guys are really rocking and keep rocking it. I sometimes sneak onto your board and try to look at your overview section and the posts you guys are making and you are on some next level. And the support your OGs gave to newcomers is so generous.

At least what they have done is a good one because that motivates members to be.much active at local board contributing immensely to the growth and development of the local board. Since Igebotz began the monthly overview coupled with CryptopreneurBrainboss assistance in awarding the best posters on our local board, the community grew with lots of engagements and activities from already existing members and inflow of new members as well. This is not just a plus to the Nigeria board but also a plus to the Bitcointalk community because the traffic increased tremendously in addition to the previous which already exists and increasing more competition amongst Local boards to strive for more contributions and development to the platform.

Newbies, you are all welcome to this forum as you are in the right place to learn all angles of bitcoin and many more. It is easy to grow here, if you are ready to learn. There is board here that is called local board in the forum.

Language may be one of the obstacles for someone to develop and in fact the local council will be the most rational place for beginners to learn the ins and outs of bitcoin. There it is easier for us to communicate with users who have the same language because not everyone is able to speak fluent English.

Local board is a board that was given by Theymos, to people from your country for easy discussion, so that you can learn and contribute in your native language for proper understanding and also to assist one another

I see so many people benefiting from local boards, both their knowledge of bitcoin and their way up the ranks and that's where it's easier to discuss things. If we can speak English there are many good posts globally and there are many people there who might be able to provide education regarding bitcoin, information about wallets and forum developments regarding improvements made by Theymos. I also have to agree as you said that local boards are one medium that can help beginners to develop in the forum.

For someone who is ready to explore the forum themselves without being told a local board exist will definitely find out there are sections for that, but it should be noted that participating in them is by choice, you can always maintain being on the English boards,

It's not in the forum rules that it's mandatory for everyone to post on the local board, and nobody is forcing anyone to post there, it's just a matter of choice. If you don't want to post there, then you are not forced, and if you are interested in posting on the local board, that's also not a bad idea. Not all countries have a local board on the forum here, so if you are from a country that does not have a local board here, you don't have a choice but to maintain posting on the English board.

If a newbie is not good at speaking or writing in English language then the local board will be useful since the language that is used is your own language before you can join other discussions that are not in your local board (after learning English). If a newbie already knows English then there's a thread called Beginners & Help and there's also a thread that Ratimov have created where different topics are in there for newbies to check called Beginners & Help Encyclopedia.

Local boards provide many benefits and are intended for all ranks, not just beginners. They are not for persons who cannot speak English effectively alone. Because some local events, which might be very helpful to both high-ranking and low-ranking members, are only posted on your local board and aren't always posted in other sections of the forum, I said that the local board is not just for people who don't speak English fluently. You have to be aware of local events as they happen.

As much as I like the idea of having some sort of identity with your people on the forum and some of the benefits that come with it, which extends to having to look out for one another and it’s one of the reason you could find some other users on the forum requesting for a board of there own. Privacy remains a part of the cryptospace and that’s an idea that is promoted on the forum, an idea that having to identify with a local board don’t really patronize.

I would say we should subscribe to the idea of freedom to chose if one would like to identify or not for whatever reason that they feel suitable enough. Some users are stigmatized while others don’t like the community or idea of being bounded to a people. Let them be left alone and very much have there choice to decide how it goes for them.

Not just newbies but also higher ranks here in forum must keep in mind how importance the local boards is cause we all know that local boards can helps one another in short once there's a member from their local boards who is native and only know little in universal language then they can make more good quality threads by posting in their local boards which is for sure their fellow countrymen will support them.

I think op need to understand that not everybody has a local board where they can be getting merits from even though they keep spamming there. There are some local boards that has so many senior people that can be meriting them even with small efforts. When people associates with there local board, they can easily grow in the forum without much stress like others that don't have a local board or that are not interested posting in there local board. There are many ways to grow in this forum and one of the ways is to attach oneself with a local board to be recognized.

I don't think the merit alone should be one of the reasons why one is asked to identify with his or her local board because any member who's interest depends on what they stand to get and not the level of information and knowledge that will be of benefit to them since most of the information they pass in the locals will be communicated in a language that will be well understood by the person. I think anyone who's doing a better good job on the forum be it in locals infact every section of the forum once the information is good such person won't find it difficult to interact with other forum members since the person has developed in writing and good communication.Member especially the newbies should see the local board as an avenue to learn things they find themselves not doing right because you have the opportunity to drop a question and get a fast response with a language that one can understand better.

Oh, here's my name that's so nice of you that you guys remember me in your thoughts, it really feels great while being discussed from any angle. Hmm, Rikafip always does much better I want to give credit to him for his contribution as my work is also inspired by him.

Dear, you are a senior member of our community, how can I now know you, you share monthly reports with my name on them, and when I saw my name on them, I got motivated and started to think that next time I will do more and be in the top. Just as I did when I was in getting education, (school position system). I think my reply will be a little off-topic.

We all are motivated by someone, you are motivated by RF, and who knows who is motivated by you, it seems that I am motivated by you, maybe next time I will make such summary reports when I get to know how to do that, I know things are not that hard but it takes some time. And you are spending your time for us which is precious to me and maybe to our whole community.

Local board is a board that was given by Theymos, to people from your country for easy discussion, so that you can learn and contribute in your native language for proper understanding and also to assist one another.

Usually, newbies prefer local boards, not only because they are already used to the language, but also the character of local boards will certainly be similar, because they come from the same country. Not to mention if the local board is very solid, it really helps to support each other. However, that doesn't mean it will be very easy, because after all it has to be a good post to deserve merits. So, you don't just get merit just like that.
I don't understand other countries, but as far as I know, on my local board, they are very solid in helping each other, discussing and so on. Unfortunately, for now, I personally still post more often globally.

People who post in their local section can be identified by looking at their profile which country they belong to.

The screenshot you shared is a bangla local board id, any local community will support you and help you move forward and if you don't understand something, they will explain you like a private tutor which is not usually available in the global section. I'm not saying global section bros don't help, I'm just implying that there is a huge difference between a private tutor and a school teacher.
A private tutor will explain you personally, if you don't understand once, you will understand it in multiple ways, but this is not the case with a school teacher, a school teacher will explain you among many students in the class, then you find the difference, which one will you understand better, a private tutor or a school teacher. So as much help as possible from the local board but not so much help from the global section.

Many members here grew through the local board so I must say that the local board has so much importance here on an this platform. I have read many responses from members here and all are actually correct and what they have said are the reality of what takes place at the local level.

I believe that the local board stand as a base to give a proper orientation to newbies and guiding them through the platform till they know the whereabouts of the platform. Newbies can freely relate with each other and share ideas with one another. As a matter of fact, problems can be easily resolved when ever there is any at hand. I believe all local boards have reputable members to guide them and listening to their fellow countrymen gives that feel at home vibes.

It really indicates that having a local board can really help in learning and growth, but unfortunately we do not have any Local board yet, but trying our best to improve our stats to heat the request for the Local board again. Having local fellows a person feels more comfortable asking questions and learning from the seniors rather than asking from a person where Language, Region, and Tone barriers affect the conversation greatly.

To grow on the forum the best role is played by the local section as even if we don't have our local board yet on our local thread our community is aggressively active and we are performing much better than some of the boards in terms of merit contribution and in terms of activity.

Local board have more contribution for beginner easily for understanding with rule in Bitcointalk forum, but disappointed with some beginner prefer ask their question in global forum before reading an easily rule have wrote in their local board. Despite they won't account have history with local board post or some beginner not understand yet in Bitcointalk forum have local board for discussing from Bitcoin discussion until all rule needed in this forum. I am glad with beginner try to expose their self in global board and their mindset want to earn merit but in local board have many board or discussing post become merit source.
I think easily understand with native language than have to make discussion in global board where needed google translate for us English is not our mother language.

During my time as newbie Im not ecen aware of the local boards and thought of forum as a sophisticated english place for discussion. But later on found out about this local boards and it helps me more to learn since I could interact with our native language and I could supply ideas easily without having hardship to explain and discuss it. Not all are proficient in english and one way to fast learning is through your own language.

This is good reminder that every newbir should or at least visit their locals so to see more clear explanation if they are having hard time with the international boards.

As a newbie, it is important that ypu identify yourself with your local board, because it will enable you to learn in your local language which might help you understand topics being discussed in the forum faster, and it will also make you grow faster, especially those people that English Language is their second language. Local board will make you also have good contact and have new friends from your country because, life doesn't end here in bitcointalk, since nobody knows tomorrow.

True, I know much about technical wallets and how to save in Bitcoin from my local board. In the local board, you will not encounter a language barrier, and you can ask detailed questions there without being afraid of not being understood. But, specifically in my local board (Indonesia), I think that board is pretty tight, there are many reporters who can report you if you are a spammer. I have to be careful posting there because if you deviate from the rule you will be warned, and because of that many Indonesian members are unwilling to post in there and get around to creating a new account just to ask a silly question.

Yes, in local board, it is easier for us to discuss because we use our country's native language. I saw several new members who were really taught how to use the forum properly. Starting from how to quote to the rules in the forum. I think it's easier to discuss in the local board because a lot of discussions take place in our country so we know very well the conditions on the ground, besides that because we come from the same country, there is a kind of team spirit and it's easier to get merit there.

The local is an very important component of the forum and not just to newbies but to all and sundry. There are persons that are not fluent in English language, they find it uncomfortable interacting with people in their general board, they are intelligent and knowledgeable but the language barrier is an impediment to their learning process. So the local board gives such categories of persons the opportunity learn and make contributions on the forum. It more also makes people feel welcomed and at home.

Yeah that's true because my local board was were tutored me to be confident enough to involved myself in most boards I was scared to post but after being welcome properly in my local board, I was familiar with most of the user members there and whenever am surfing the forum and I tend to see a broda am familiar with its give the courage to chip in my own contribution because starting the forum here is all that good for some members because alot of newbie account are overwhelmed with confusion and the board is the perfect place to get rid of that faulty perception.

The importance of local boards can't be overemphasized and I so agree with op that there are Alot of people who don't even know that they have a local board or thread and I encourage people to always identify with their local boards and always do their best to always show and stay active with their local board.

Regarding a user who got most of his merits from the local board, isn't a new case an that very local board you stated has been one of the very active local boards and they also have some very good posters as well as several local board merit sources and is right if you see members of that board growing fine

One of the major reason for a local board is to help members identify with members from their locality so as to get easy mentorship and navigation guide on the forum.
