@koriander:

I wrote it before: what about the people, who are not able to read German?

Have you ever tried to find a good forum with international members? Why should Mr. Honscha not try ??

 

[hegele]

Let us talk in English

If somebody doesn't understand German - let them write English (or Dutch, or Esperanto ...) and I'm sure there will be an answer in a language he or she can understand.

Koriander

I agree to that what you say.
Let the english speeking people write in this forum, not in an extra one.
I do not like to discuss in two different forums the same subjects

And it will happen, if we have two forums (english and german), that the same disussions will take place in both.
is that really what we want ?

not in my opinion.

Unneccesary redundant !

Hi folks,

... pretty funny to write in english to german people

OK, but let's get to the point:

If we use another board, as hegele pointed out before, we will get a redundancy of messages, that produces traffic. And traffic is a thing that produces higher costs for the owner .... as mentioned one or two weeks before ... I spoke to Mr Honscha and now I know, how much he pays for the board !

Let's stay as we were used and write in the existing boards in english, french or what language we ever want to use. If somebody doesn't understand our posting, he or she can ask for translation.

Regards,

Rudi

Hi Sonja!

Isn't this already a good forum with international members? I've recommended it to several international people, and they all have benefited from it, even though they had no knowledge of German.

You asked, How about the people who are not able to read German? Well, how about the people who are not able to read English?? I wouldn't force people to use a particular language. Knowledge of English is a privilege for those who had it at school. But that's not true for everybody. Anyway, what's more international about English than about German? I have the feeling that more people use German as an international language than one might think. This forum is a proof of it!

BTW: I completely agree with what Rudi wrote.

Hallo Lars,

Mal 'ne andere Frage :
könnt ihr mir mal andere (ausländische) Münz-Foren nennen !

which language would you prefer?

z.B. auf Englisch: Collectors Universe forum oder CoinWorld Message Board usw.......................

viele Leute benutzen noch die newsgroups (rec.collecting.coins und rec.collecting.paper-money)

Gruß,
Igor

Hi Stefan,

you are right, this is already a good forum, and with international members too.

I was only wondering, if it would't be interesting for all of us, if even all european coincollectors would write here. Until now, there are only a few from netherlands, and their language is a liitle bit familar to ours, but members from Italy, Spain etc. will have no clue what we are talking about, and will not even try to read or to join us.

But, if all are against my idea, and if it is as expensive as Rudi suggested, ok, lets forget it! It was just an idea!

But I will try the links above

 

[Igor]

Hi Sonja et al.,

I completely agree with you! It would be nice to have a separate international category. It can be really disappointing in the very beginning, because there will be only a few messages, but this is only a question of an advertisment in the internet!

... and traffic... What a strange reason?!?!?! The main aim of this Forum is the advertising of www.honscha.de, the main result - meeting of a new friends, diskussing interesting topics or - mainly - just bubbling...

...if new customers of MTH don't cover the traffic expences, the only way to reduce the costs is to close the forum or switsch to a free version on a free lowspeed host... but then new people probably won't have a look on a banner and will try to keep contact only with very seldom members who can really answer the numismatic questions...

So, set priorities.....

Kind regards,
Igor

Okay, jetzt hat so ziemlich jeder gezeigt, dass er der englischen Sprache mächtiog ist, und eine Lösung wird also nicht mehr gebraucht.

Trotzdem mein Vorschlag:
Ein englisches Forum wäre Blödsinn, dann würden den "nur" deutschsprachigen einige Informationen entgehen.
Wie wärs, wenn einer der hier anscheinend vielen englisch-begabten Forumsnutzer dann in Deutsch einfach zusammenfasst, was geschrieben wurde? - Hat doch früher auch geklappt! Die Fragen die im Forum gestellt werden sind nicht nur für den Fragenden interessant sondern auch für die anderen, deshalb sollte in deutsch geantwortet werden und erst an zweiter stelle in englisch.

Gruß

@Silver
Ich verlange, das Du Deinen Nick sofort in "Silber" änderst! Du kannst "Silver" ja dann in Klammern setzen!
Ich werde mich dann natürlich auch "LKW-Fahrer" nennen!

Na gut, Scherz beiseite. Die Idee für eine eigene Kategorie in Englisch fände ich auch nicht so gut. Die Kosten sind sicher kein Argument, denn ob das Forum nun 13 oder 14 Kategorien hat, ist doch keine Kostenfrage.
Vielleicht kann Herr Honscha ja auch kein Englisch!?

Wie auch immer, es wäre auf jeden Fall ein Nachteil für die nicht-englisch-verstehenden Leute in diesem Forum und das kann es ja dann auch nicht sein, oder?
Bis jetzt hat die Verständigung doch gut geklappt also warum sollte man die nicht-deutschsprachigen in ein "Ghetto" sperren?
