well what i meant you wanted i thought you wanted a subforum of it

I might actually be wrong about that, in fairness. That's just where I think they are.

Oh, well in any case, shame they're gone with the wind now.

...They aren't. Search feature.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. By gone with the wind, I meant that they aren't active anymore.

Then activate them. I don't exaclt y understand why this is even an issue.

By the way mods, I don't know how many of you noticed, but I already took a nice "compromise" by adding in that rule. It's like a freakin' yellow star. Anyway, if you can't understand a language, just look at the bottom of each post and hit it up on a translator. Even if it's rough, you should be able to get an idea.



lol man, it's really not. I was just saying, it's a shame that I haven't seen them recently, being active on their own. I can't be responsible for all of the activity on cB all the time, now can I.

Yes, because that really is how I like to spend my time.

If the topics can't even survive on their own, there is really no need for a foreign language subforum, or a day, etc etc

Hey, just sayin', in case you guys want to know what's being said. I mean if you don't want to bother, more p-p-p-power to ya. But just 'cause you don't want to bother is no excuse for why we can't post in foreign languages.




Deal. The topics seem to be holding their own at the moment though. But yes, just let them naturally fall down the page if cB wills it.

Give it two days and you're not going to want to bother either.

There was still no need for a million of them last night.

I guess that's why I made cB World Language Day only one day, lol.

lol, told you so

First, let's go on with cB World Language Day. Then we can talk about what to do with foreign languages for the rest of the year afterwards.

Foreign Language Day is stupid and therefore if we must have it, I thoroughly object to having it be on my birthday.

Also, it makes very little sense to have it be one day, as then we'd have to go through and close all those topics or else they could just continue on afterward.

You realize that there are 12 hours between the two posts you quoted, right? He was right at the time, stop trying to be smug.

Ha ha, I honestly didn't know it was going to end up on your birthday. And BOO at you calling Foreign Language Day stupid! >:O

Part of the purpose of Foreign Language Day is to spark interest in foreign languages and other cultures. If you've been reading my topics (but I guess you haven't since y'all are too lazy to use translators) a lot of them are about foreign culture or cool things I found from foreign places. cB World Language Day is also a challenge to not use English for a whole day (and good job you guys, you made me break my own rule). I personally won't be posting in as much foreign languages after cB World Language Day. More power to the people who want to keep posting in foreign languages, though. 'Cause I still don't see a rule saying they can't.

Oh, and don't even think about closing the topics, because as far as my topics go, they're all legit.

I was just jokin' around man, I know that. I really hate having to pull the Batman quote again, but...

WHY SO SERIOUS?

Things I Can Do:
1. close your topics
2. make a rule against foreign languages
3. call World Language Day stupid

Wow. Come on guys. Can we at least be civil?

Arjuna, you can have the day. Tomorrow the threads will be closed, moved to their respective "clubs" or merged into one Celebratory Thread. If any staff member disagrees with this, please respond.

A lot of this could have been avoided if it was communicated beforehand. I don't see why everything has to be such a heated debate. I think just about EVERYONE needs to take a friggin chill pill.

Come on! Olympics have started. Let's all try to be friendly! (Ok, I know that's over the top... but yay friendly? ) lol

I think I know who got laid last night.

I am all for the language subforum!

You know, I got really excited when you said this, until you said this...Why? They're legit topics, and there's still no rule to be seen against foreign languages.

Now that I'm off the staff team, I shouldn't have to wait for all the mods' approval before I can act and go ahead and initiate a celebration.




EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR


YAYZ GAIZ WOOT

Maybe they can still be open, but everyone has to post in English then? =\

lol I'm willing to compromise but you're going to have to compromise with me.

There was a rule about posting in English predominately, but that went away when your dear friend Suzzette jackhammered the forums. I honestly don't remember exactly what it said.

But we shouldn't have to speak in English if we don't want to.



lol, the thing is, I shouldn't have to compromise, because there was no rule on foreign languages to speak of at the time, deleted or not.

Plus, I already compromised somewhat by telling everyone to write the language they're typing in at the bottom of their posts so you guys can translate if you want.

I feel that I should point out that you didn't even start the posting in other languages, Sally did.

How about all topics must be started in English?

You're being really stubborn, Arjuna. I am trying so hard to compromise and you're not even trying. :(

Yeah, that's true. Actually the idea started in cBC, everyone just started before I could finish the declaration post (which ended up being deleted anyway).


AND, I shouldn't even have to compromise!

and oh, happy birthday nicki!!!

This post should be PINNED for truth.

You understand that only one of the topics were actually IN a foreign language, right?

And even that appears to be an advertisement, which is now being closed.

Why can't we post though? I don't get it, especially for those of us that aren't white.

thank you!!

Really, Javon, what the hell does not being white have to do with anything?

But what is wrong with starting a topic?

Really Nicki, spell my name right. K Thanks! Smooches!

The point is, foreign language was used in the past (and quite liberally in those topics), and I didn't see them being scolded by any mods in them

Thomas, I honestly looked took the time to look through the Community Guidelines and the Terms of Service for a rule on foreign languages.

You fail to explain why not. Why are you so culturally closed minded?

The point of cB World Language Day is not necessarily to have knowledge on how to speak any given languages, but to raise cultural awareness throughout cB. To remind you guys that English isn't the only language, and America isn't the only culture. Believe it or not, sometimes diversity is taken for granted.

For cB World Language Day, speaking in different languages isn't to say "hey, look at how many different languages I can speak," but to be able to look different countries in the eye and say, "I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOUR CULTURE! OORAH!"

now that i think about it
I still think a Language subforum would be kind of Snazzy
Who cares if you have to use a translator

REAL EYES REALIZE REAL LIES. You think I'm gonna believe everything you mods SAY? Just because all the mods might say "there was once a rule that no Jews, Asians, Blacks, homosexuals, or gypsies are allowed on cB," would you believe them, let alone follow their rule?

hmm. Guess you have a good point there.
but still, it would be fun seeing everything

Did you even read my post above that?



So you're saying you guys can't retrieve it? I guess it doesn't exist then.

But it wasn't, and I honestly don't see what's wrong with giving the people what they want. It would add a little something extra to this boring site. Please for the love of god...anything to keep the members interested....I am all for it.

You know what, I'm getting tired of this, I shouldn't have to argue for culture like this.


You mods blew this WAY out of proportion, and took the fun away from cB World Language Day. All I did was start ONE day of cultural awareness. Now it's become some huge debate with mods that run in circles trying to find a rule that doesn't exist.



FORGET YOU GUYS, ON WITH CB WORLD LANGUAGE DAY!

Also, i think if the mods let us non-mods put our input on ideas then it will make CB a more enjoyable place.
Thats just my opinion though.

Javonn wasn't on cB back in 2005.

First off, nobody has to tell me that I am a mod, because I already know that. Secondly, it is called a feedback topic for a reason, and if I want to, I will leave whatever type of opinion that I want. Thirdly, I will try and do everything in my power to make this site more enjoyable. I am tired of people walking around here with the same blind f**king eye, and trying to be pretentious and full of themselves. This site is indeed boring, and moderator or not, I will say that because that is how I feel. Since when does being a mod, mean that you have to be censored in your opinions?

My point is that something like this is sparking some interest among members, whether it be minimal or huge. Just because a certain few don't like it, doesn't mean that we should outright it. The same f**king topics are going to be made in English regardless, so what is the point? If you don't want to translate it, then don't...I'll f**king do it. As if some of you people are around here enough to know what is going on anyway.

Javonn shouldn't have to lie to himself and say cB is super special fun and awesome right now, 'cause it's not. cB's not all that at the moment. Javonn just realizes the truth, but is actually working hard towards improving cB and its activity. In fact, from what I can tell, he's done a lot more in that direction than you have.

You know how ridiculous you sound right now?

lmao, you know how bad that just made you mods look? Goes to show the mod/member relations these days.

Actually that isn't true at all. Posts made BY Suzzette were unable to be retrieved. This isn't the first time we've tried to find something and were unable to do so after the forum mutilation. We can't find it, so we can't reference it so for all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist at this point in time.

Having said that, can we all attempt to move forward a little? I think this has just become painful. lol

Let's all take a step back and try to work together. If posting in a foreign language is something the community truly wants, let's just think about it for a second. You are proposing that the use of foreign languages be allowed. Ok. I'm all for diversity and I'm certainly going to consider something that has been brought up by the community, especially if there seems to be legitimate interest. How about this, if you post in a foreign language, that is fine, but you must translate your post? (this is for indefinite purposes, not just today)

That's exactly what I tried sayin'.



Sorry, no, really. I already said that I shouldn't have to compromise.



Why can't you mods just admit you're wrong for once?

Because I'm not wrong. lol I didn't remove anything, I didn't close anything and I remember there being a rule that cannot be found right now. I have been trying to come up with ways to make everyone happy in this, not just mods.



I actually got the idea from you. ;)

You guys are distracting me. In the time that I've been arguing with you guys, I could've been out there spreading glorious cultural awareness. >:(

I changed my mind.

wtf are you talkin about
