O.P. RE: New foreign Messenger Plus! forums
1 or 2 people aren't enough to have a support team.

No offense Durex, but to be able to give decent and correct support you need to know a lot about Messenger and Messenger Plus!, so start providing correct support in here first.

Making a foreign forum is asking to trust you blindly with it (as nobody else can read what you write). For all we know, you could be rude to people and telling/suggestion wrong or incomplete things, which is a bad thing for Messenger Plus! as a whole.
(I'm not saying you do though, but this is why not everyone can start a foreign forum)

Patchou must strust the people of the foreign forums with his baby and should be able to sleep well without thinking "Are they giving the correct support?". So, it is not step to be taken lightly.

If you look at the mods/admins on the foreign forums, you'll reconize the most trusted/respected people from this forum there. People that have prooven themself in the past on this English forum and know Messenger Plus! inside-out.

;)

Also, don't forget that people who don't speak English are still welcome here on the English forums, as long as they or someone else provide an translation, so that the helpers can understand what the people are saying.

The point of the foreign forums is that it will be much easier for the people as well for the helpers if they can post directly in their own language without constantly needing to provide a translation. Eg: For the 10 people who only know Hebrew that would come here to ask questions once in a while, you can easly provide a translation for them. It wouldn't be much work and you wouldn't constantly be busy with it.

How do we know that the Spanish, French, Dutch forums will be succesfull? Well, we don't. But if we look at the use of the translations of Messenger Plus!, it seems that there are a lot of people speaking these languages. This also means that there must be a lot of people who could be potentional forumusers.
