You know very well I'm the last one who would call WDZ lazy (even as a joke), but in this case, maybe yes, he was a bit too lazy. Although I wouldn't blame it on him only though. For starters there is more than one admin (although I don't know how it works internally, maybe WDZ is the only one who knows how to add new private forums), and it takes a forum team to backup such requests.
Plus, I've always defended WDZ's work when it came down to those requests to update the forum and that it would be "easy to do it" and whatnot.
But I'm not going to search for a list of requests or whatever since those requests I'm talking about are all within different threads/subjects and often worded in many different ways (though, all related to translations). As such, it would take too much time to search for them and I don't want to spend that time searching just to proof to you those requests exist. (no offense)
PS: is it just me or do you also see some analogy with many complaints directed towards Yuna? Neither know the complete inner workings and neither know how much work is actually done behind the scene and the true extent of things. What is complained about is what is seen from a distance. With maybe the difference that I do know that WDZ has put a lot of work into this forum. You will never ever see me denying that, on the contrary. So, if my complaint is disrespectfull towards WDZ, then so are many of those complaints towards Yuna...

Either way, have you done something yet with that googlegroup/mailingslist? Are you going to use it? Or have you something better in mind (would be great though)? If you're not going to use that mailinglist, say so and I'll remove it (or remove it yourself since you're also owner now )
i'll probably use it, that's if i get enough translators to contact me, i've received like 6 or 7 pms about it
PS: maybe you could PM the known translators, those with a translator tag (I assumed you already did though). Because many of them are indeed not that active on these forums to read threads like this (again maybe the result of not having their own place here, and thus not accustomed to regulary visit the forums because why bother anyways if nothing is posted here for them specifically, who knows)
Or, maybe Sunshine can make a mail (in your name) towards all the translators with your request. I know Patchou has done similar stuff in the past though, to notify translators of some unofficial thread or information which might concern the official translators (again because there was otherwise no way to contact them because there wasn't a private forum).
