The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
The sole purpose of this thread is to give all english speaking fans a voice in discussing our favorite hero, Perry Rhodan and his adventures. There are for sure many and not everyone can read and write in german. Therefore this is the english-language discussion thread about Perry Rhodan.
This is the opportunity to allow international Perry Rhodan fans to join the community!
I added a poll - maybe this thread generates so much traffic that adding an own subforum becomes a valuable option?

Re: The ENGLISH thread (discuss PERRY RHODAN in english!)
I'd say that the mods should wait to actually see the traffic this thread will generate.
A place for English-speaking fans here is a good idea, though.

And what about the portuguese Fans? I want to discuss about Perry Rhodan in portuguese as well ...Sonnentransmitter hat geschrieben:The sole purpose of this thread is to give all english speaking fans a voice in discussing our favorite hero, Perry Rhodan and his adventures.

Ok, I know the language, I assume that I am one of the few. Probably a thread would do it in this case ...

Re: The ENGLISH thread (discuss PERRY RHODAN in english!)
I don't see why an English language sub forum would hurt. So why not. Have you announced this thread in the yahoo group already?

Re: The ENGLISH thread (discuss PERRY RHODAN in english!)
No other thread is pinned in this subforum at the moment. So I'll take the chance and gonna, ehm, nail it for some time. We'll see how many users and traffic the thread can create.

Re: The ENGLISH thread (discuss PERRY RHODAN in english!)
The main question is - I guess - how many English speaking fans, who don't have sufficient command of the German language to be comfortable to post, are in this Forum at all.

Maybe KNF or anybody should announce it at the homepage to point our international Fans to this message board?

But so far I've read only comments of users that are perfectly at ease with the German language, even if my keyboard is usually working against me.

Re: The ENGLISH thread (discuss PERRY RHODAN in english!)
English sub-forum? Good idea
Well, in the end this depends on the moderators ... Enough manpower for this?
I voted "yes".

Manpower probably yes - but will there be enough discussion-power for an own subforum?
P:S.: I've changed the title, hopefully Sonnentransmitter is ok with it.

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
Whoever announces this thread to the Yahoo group (or anywhere else where they know English-speaking fans) should also note the peculiarities of this forum - namely, that the first 50 posts need to be approved by moderators before they appear. That bit of information should probably also be in the opening post, as well.

A separate subforum would probably be much easier to find, so I'm all in favour.

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
This is a great idea! Especially for me, because although I can read German, I feel much more comfortable writing in English. I'll send the thread's link to the Yahoo group right away, where there's a small but very active group of PR fans from all over the world.
Ralf, why don't you create a thread only for Portuguese-speaking fans? The biggest Brazilian PR forum I know (http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Community?cmm=66731) has more than 1,300 members, and I'm sure that many of them would start using a Portuguese-only space here immediately!

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
Hello:
I think this is a great idea and long overdue. Maybe this will be a first step towards seeing Perry Rhodan in English again. Either way, it's good to have this forum opened. I hope everybody on the yahoo group joins in. Maybe this will help produce more PR fans in English speaking countries.
Have a Great Day!!!

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
Hi Folks,
its' a great idea to have a Perry Rhodan discussion forum in English even though the English version of the series is lightyears behind the actual story line. There are many readers from Australia, Canada, USA and not to forget, the UK who would probably join the forum. I certainly don't want to forget our Japanese and Brazilian fans who, in many cases, are able to read and write English.
As with any other forum, there will be the "active" members who keep the forum going and the "passive" members who are just reading the threads. This should, however, not discourage anybody to post ideas, tid-bits or discuss segments of the series which need a bit of explanation, especially to new readers.
Cheers
Mic

Yes, as a temporary fix for translating the forum rules Unfortunately I cannot change the starting post of this thread anymore. However a moderator can do.Knight Otu hat geschrieben:Whoever announces this thread to the Yahoo group (or anywhere else where they know English-speaking fans) should also note the peculiarities of this forum - namely, that the first 50 posts need to be approved by moderators before they appear.

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
Do we have enough english speaking traffic to justify a seperate forum?
I suspect many of our native english speakers know German as well.
If we take them away from the German forums a lot of synergy will be lost in those German forums.
Unless we are certain that a significant number of Perry Rhodan fans exist that know English but no German I dont think we should split off a synergy robbing subforum.

Re: The International Thread (Discuss PR in English)
PS : What ahppend to the forum???
is this a follow on forum or a competing pone.. If compting I apologize for bringin it up and this is one reason I post this on the english spekaing thread just in case...
But I couldnt find the other forum anywhere.. via google.
Is there a database that still has our posts?
This way we could use some of our old posts , some of which took a couple of hours to write, to re create old threads.
