If this is what you already said, and I'm just confused, please ignore. :)

You mean just have one French forum and have them put allll their posts in there?

I thought about but then there is an issue of it being messy. If they go to multiple places in Europe + Canada then that could be multiple locations where people speak french. So you might have people talking about 6 different shows. I think it would be harder for them to organize projects or whatever if all the French speakers are talking about different locations. I like breaking it up by shows.

I also want the international fans to feel equal to the English speakers. I don't want it to seem like I'm throwing them in the corner and forgetting about them.

I also thought about doing language forums with alll the dates as subforums like:

French: Location A, Location B, Location C...
Spanish: Location A, Location B, Location C...
German: Location A, Location B, Location C...

But then that comes out to a lot more forums, though it does keep all the languages together. But that is still something I am considering.

As for non-foreign speakers...I might be able to create a new group for English speakers and have it set NOT to show the other languages. Then anyone who doesn't want to see the international sections can join it.

I meant keep all of the international together....like you have it now.

The shows could be separate under each language like it was for the US in English.

So this forum would have the English side and the international side like it has now. Each language would then be split into whatever shows and whatever new topics. People who speak/write in a language could participate in either side just like they do now.

I guess yes....if you speak French, you visit the French forum and discuss the shows there. If you speak German, the same. If you speak Italian, the same. You couldn't really set it up though until you have the "world" schedule. And of course, anyone could contribute anywhere just like now.

I think it would be more organized and efficient that way.?????
