Mandarin 960 million native speakers, many students are now learning it as a second language, and it is becoming an increasingly important language of business. I think the forum should add Mandarin as the next non-English Discussion Room. Right now, they're all very Eurocentric. Branching out into Mandarin, and even possibly some other languages such as Hindi or Arabic would bring more diversity to the forum. It would increase the visibility of this site to a whole different geographic area and encourage more participation between language learners.

Only FX (our Administrator) can make such changes.

Speaking of FX, where is he? When was he last sighted? This forum could do with quite a bit of renovation, and yet
he seems to have mostly abandoned it while still collecting on pro membership dues 1 person has voted this message useful | |

We have absentee ownership and management. There are a lot of features and improvements that the forum needs. None of it will get done unless our administrator, FX, takes an active interest again or decides to relinquish control/ownership. Until then, there's no point in asking for changes- we have what we have.
