I know this may seem a little out of the blue, but i was wondering if there could be some sort of Language Forum? This would be a great opportunity for some to learn about another culture and learn how to speak another certain language :3
please don't hate me for this suggestion >.<

but you're right, maybe there might not be many people intrested

I'm in for it. Any old translator might tell u specific words and such, but they can never replace people. Combining those two would be quite deadly. ^_^
The only downside would probably be privacy in some way...but hey, things don get anymore private than this.
Go for it!

I think that would be awesome!I could teach all kh fans to speak French! If only I could remember how to spell in French... But really, this is a very good idea, and an educational oppurtonity. I hate to say this, but this site needs to be more educational.

meh...language forum, culture forum, I'm fine with either. I just want this thing to work.
Also, this might be kinda stupid but how do you put those letters with accents like what they use in Spanish. And how would u write in characters that looks nothing like English letters?

i know how to do that, but for one letter. é
it' easy, just Alt button and 1,3,0. it takes a little while for it to pop up thought.

And some things don't directly translate from english to another language and vice-versa. You get a more acurate translation from someone who knows the language than an online robot.

We've had a suggestion like this before. Normally, since this and language discussions have been suggested so much, I'd go to Sara and make it happen. At the moment however we're trying to reoganize the forum a bit so their isn't a mass amount of sections, another one would go against that, so I'll get back to this one, until then I'll leave it open for people to comment on. If people are for it, then I say go for it.

well, some people don't have other language and culture classes as an option... my school only teaches english to those who speak other languages at home... we don't have a chance to learn spanish, japanese, or anything like that. And in social studies class we only focus on American history and culture, so we don't learn about other countries at all... and most translators out there aren't even correct... >>
I'm behind this all the way! I think it's a great idea! It would make the site more educational and we'd be able to accurately learn about other cultures. Bravo, cupcake! *gives cocoa* :3

no... this site is MAINLY meant for KH fans to go crazy about the games and to get updated about the series... and sure, you can simpily chat with other people. But if that was all it was meant for, then why is there a role playing arena and an intelligent discussion section? :3 I'm sure people would use this all the time XD

Any forum section can easily cause arguments, we just need to keep it at bay. Plus, folk will jusy be asking questions, and stating facts about their culture. I really don't see how folk could flame unless they were just bein' arrogant.

I think we should give people the chance to teach each other about their cultures, if anything it could help to actually lower arguments. Ignorance being a key factor in fights afterall.

I absolutely love the suggestion for a culture forum. I know that a forum made for games isn't meant to be educational in the first place, but I see no harm in learning more about other countries and their history. Which is best told by the ones who actually live in said country. When I was in school we weren't tought that much about things that matters when concerning other countries, and I have always been interested in learning more about people's ways.
It's like what has been mentioned already, if a fight breaks out it will be the action of an ignorant person - that can happen anywhere. It shouldn't ruin the chance to discuss a topic like culture.
So yeah, I would like to see this happen. Anything like language, traditions, perhaps even about what can be found out there (maybe nature or specific attractions or whatever), that could go under culture.

Too arbitrary at this point to make, if you ask me. Most language forums are made because there was an immediate need for one in order for the forum community to function properly. I don't believe that to be the case with KHV.
Besides, many people on this forum have enough problems already using proper English; don't bite off more than you can chew, I'd say.

If it's a race for a Culture forum, then there is no need for it IMO. We have Anything Else for a reason. It's not like cultural is taking over the place.
Besides culture is quite vague, do you mean in terms of lifestyle, art? It could mean a variety of things.

The whole point is that it is vague, language, art, lifestyle that can all go in and be included within it. It's a way for us to take advantage of the fact we have so many nationalities and cultures represented here on KH-Vids.
Thread going to staff discussion, we shall keep you updated loves.
