Replying to Foreign language forums
I've dropped this suggetion in a few different threads, but I think it's good enough to warrant its own thread.
NS is already an international phenomenon and anything that would boost usage in places besides North America would be huge for the site.
For that purpose, I'm sure that if specific French, German, Swedish and Spanish-language forums were created, they'd get a shitload of usage immediately, especially if they were easier to access than the regional forums for countries where these languages are spoken. This would give native speakers a better chance to connect with NS without having to wrestle with language barriers in the main forums, where half of the posts are incomprehensible to native English speakers anyway.
And hell, it'd be a good language-building tool for the rest of us and a welcome exposure to some diversity. Kids even could use NS threads for their foreign-language homework.
To quote Mike Myers: DISCUSS!
