New Sections
« on: October 01, 2009, 10:46:59 AM »
I was very sorry to see this morning that we now have new sections devoted to different countries (languages).  I feel this is a backward step, because  one of the reasons why this forum is so successful is because we are largely one happy family, all talking together about the thing we care about most - MK and his music!   I feel that this latest move is divisive and exclusive, for obvious reasons and could be to the detriment of this wonderful forum!  I sincerely hope not.  :(    More sections do not make better forums!

My thoughts entirely. We should be one big round friendly all inclusive group with no corners.

I was about to post something similar (in Google Dutch  ;D). I hate it when I am not able to understand everything!

But it's a SUBforum. The important subjects stay in the mainforum right?

We can give it a chance i think...

 :) ;) I like the idea of sections for other languages and have thought about having the availability on AMIT for some time now. It is just another thing which makes AMIT different to the other MK forums and provides non-English speaking/writing fans with the opportunity to be involved with the best MK forum on the net. It will probably break the ice for many who have thought about posting but were not confident enough in their English skills to involve themselves in the general discussion boards.

At the end of the day the new sections won

in my opinion all this will harm the main forum. more doesn't mean better. how about a poll?

Just in English. I think this forum don't need sections devoted to different countries.
In The Netherlands we have 2 hyves, in France they have (correct me if I am wrong) AFMK and in the Uk they have MKNews forum ( ;D )

But this is just my opinion.

In France we have AFMK but you have to PAY to Join it... So it's really a pity... So it can be usefull for some french people...who doesn't want to pay...
there is another one too... but it doesn't work very much yet lol... Lets see with AMIT who knows :)

It's just a joke with all these languages I hope. I don't take it too serious anyway. ;D

I really can't type in French, my German (writing) skills are below average, maybe I should practice a little bit... But still... :P
