Do you think we should divide the Latin America subforum into country sections?

[Kazimiera]

Do you think we should divide this forum into country sections like Mexico has its own subsection, Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic?

At the moment it is a jumble of threads from all sorts of countries mixed together.

What is your opinion?

[Mortimer]

indifferent, i think if there are enough users from a country then sure why not. most hispanics here are mexicans so mexico should be definitely there

[Proctor]

Same as Gigolo.

[Brighton]

You should create two sections:

Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (Mexicans, Central Americans, Caribbeans, Colombians/Venezuelans.. who are basically Caribbeans)

Southern Cone (Brazilians, Argentineans, Chileans and Uruguayans)..

We don't have Bolivians, Paraguayans or Ecuadorians so they don't need a section..

It'd be so much nicer

[Tropico]

I guess it should be into 4:
Mexico
Central America
Spanish Caribbean
South America

[Kazimiera]

I was thinking specifically the countries.

[Tropico]

I was thinking specifically the countries.

No. Dividing it by country would be tedious and would be over kill. Dividing in into regions which share cultural/genetic similarities would be easier.

[Kazimiera]

I want some more input from other Latin American users and see what they have to say. Tropico, you do have a point. Let's see what others have to say too.

Brighton, thanks for the input.

[Armand_Duval]

No, let it as it is now.

[Smaug]

I liked this Brighton.

Kaz, this is a very good idea and I'm for it. The LA section is heavily disorganized, and as for Brazil, it is quite excluded, because we are quite different from the rest of the countries, and speak a different language. I liked Brighton's division. Put Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay into a single "Southern Cone" section, because there aren't too much of us to justify giving those countries their own subforum. Mexico's got a lot of members, so they can have a subforum of their own.

[Gauthier]

Not enough people from the other countries. Those sections would be dead in no time.

I disagree. It would make more sense to put Chile with Bolivia and Peru. You guys share geographical, ancestral and cultural backgrounds.

Nah, I think it's good as it is now.

[Neanderthal]

No, just make a gulag for annoying Hispanic members and we should be just fine.

[Carlito's Way]

Mexico
Central America
Spanish Caribbean
South America

i like this, divided into this section

[Carlito's Way]

also some of the brazilian members speak in their language and i dont even know what in the world are the saying, they should speak english or spanish here or they should move to the Portuguese section

+1

I would rather share a section with Brazilians, even if they speak a different language -I can totally understand them though-, than with Mexicans, who are geographically very far away and don't share too much with Argentines, Chileans, Brazilians, etc..

You could also do

1. Mexico and Central America
2. Caribbean*
3. Southern Cone

* This in case Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Cubans don't feel comfortable being grouped with Mexicans..

Yours is good too BUT what about Colombia, Venezuela? They aren't part of Central America nor the Southern Cone. I think having a South American section by itself (excluding Brazil) would make more sense. Plus member wise it wouldn't die and be as dead since enough people would have reason to post there compared to only "southern Cone" members.

[thetank]

I like tropicos idea

[Sikeliot]

I'd do:

Mexico
Central America
Caribbean
South America
Brazil

[Lurker]

Well, this is the Latin American section. The Brazilian flag sometimes flashes near the name of the forum. And the Portuguese section is for Portugal alone, just as the Spanish section is for Spaniards alone. Putting our threads there would anger the Portuguese for sure.

yeah i know but sometimes in threads of Hispanics, they start speaking Portuguese and i cant understand them

[Carlito's Way]

I'd do:

Mexico
Central America
Caribbean
South America
Brazil

yeah this could work perfectly

[Tropico]

yeah this could work perfectly

Id go as far as putting in Spanish Caribbean, just to be clear.

[Snchpnz]

Are there any Central Americans here? I think they should be lumped with either Mexico, South America or the Caribbean since that section will be completely dead anyway.

[Smaug]

I was thinking of proposing the divide of the LA section, nice we've got supporters.


also some of the brazilian members speak in their language and i dont even know what in the world are the saying, they should speak english or spanish here or they should move to the Portuguese section

Or maybe you should be speaking Portuguese, seriously? You speak Spanish and cannot understand Portuguese? Not sure if trolling or simply very stupid.

[Smaug]

Interesting to see how only Mexicans voted to keep things as they are.

[Lemonhead]

I like things they way they are, since there are not many Latin American members, but if the Latin American section is divided, its should be as follows in my opinion.

Spanish South America
Mexico
Brazil
Spanish Caribbean
Central America

[Gauthier]

Interesting to see how only Mexicans
voted to keep things as they are.
Only me and armando have voted. The rest are folks from diverse backgrounds.

[Tropico]

If the choice is only between every single country and keeping it the way it is, id rather keep it the way it is.

[RMuller]

If they divided the forum by latino regions or countries,what happens to the threads here like the sudaca,panchito, hot latin american women and all the other threads?? Were will the threads go ??

[Smaug]

These will remain in the LA section, and threads specific to one single country will be moved to their correct sub-sections. Check the UK section, it is sub-divided between England, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall, that's how the LA section will be.

[Also]

Do you think we should divide this forum into country sections like Mexico has its own subsection, Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic?


Kazimiera, I wanted to vote for the option "Yes" but I voted for the other option and confirmated before I realized. Maybe you could change my vote on the pool?

My only problem with the LA section is that we as brazilians and the only latinos portuguese-speaker we are kind of isolated, I can understand what they write in spanish but I don't feel comfortable writing in spanish so I reply in english if I want to.

[Tropico]

Separating it into single countries would create dead zones. Like Bolivia, Paraguay, Guatemala, etc. Regions would make it much better. I vote that the option to put it into regions be available.

Why the hell people who are not from LA and don't visit this section are voting? And voting against our progress! I wont take these votes into consideration, this is our issue, no more gringos telling us what to do.

[Kataxu]

Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (Mexicans, Central Americans, Caribbeans, Colombians/Venezuelans.. who are basically Caribbeans)

Again, then Brazil should be the own section. Otherwise we would eclypse the other little countries.

It's funny how we can understand hispanics, but you can't understand us, why?

[brazuca]

It's funny how we can understand hispanics, but you can't understand us, why?

because a Brazilian can write the same "phrase" of 3 or 4 different ways using terms and words that do not exist or are no longer used in Spanish.

[Liac]

If you ask me then no. Hispanics, they're all same egoistic poor brown noisy third-worlders, like there's much difference between Uruguay and Mexico, please don't tell me there's deep cultural rift between. You might say that I don't know nothing about Uruguayan history and culture, but in the end why are Latin America so important that each country should have it's own section on European cultural community? There's no even single member from some of those numerous Hispanic countries.

[RMuller]

60% have voted " No, I prefer it the way it is ".

[Persian Otomi]

That would be a good idea, this section seens too messy and all over the place. Sub-forums will make it a little more organized.

[Aredhel]

No, I like the way it is organized, we aren't many users that post in this subforum in spite of many of us are mexicans. IMHO the subforums would be deserts, i.e. there's only one peruvian, one venezuelan, one brazilian, and only 4 mexicans post often (I'm not including myself in this :p) so I don't think we should divide the subforum. The most active latinamerican users would be at most 7.

[Kazimiera]

I wasn't thinking of ALL the countries. Just the ones of which we have the most users (and threads), like Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and maybe Dominican Republic. There wouldn't be sections like Ecuador or Bolivia. Those would fall into the general Latin America forum. Just the major countries with the most threads and users.

I agree on Mexico based on the number of members and Brazil since they speak another language. The rest? Not so much.

[Brighton]

Yours is good too BUT what about Colombia, Venezuela? They aren't part of Central America nor the Southern Cone. I think having a South American section by itself (excluding Brazil) would make more sense.

The only Venezuelan is Chirigue and gets along so much better with Mexicans and Caribbeans than with Southern Coners. I don't even think he is Venezuelan/Colombian/whatever he claims to be..

[Brighton]

I'd do:

Mexico
Central America
Caribbean
South America
Brazil
Who is Central American here??

[Brighton]

Interesting to see how only Mexicans voted to keep things as they are.
Because -except for Carlos- they're the annoying ones. We're the ones who have to deal with them being here in the same section..

It'd be so good to be away from the Mexicans here.

[RMuller]

Why not a South American or Southern Coner section??

Because if you do that, I'd probably end up using Argentina's section anyway.

None of the Mexican nationals have an obsession with Chile. I believe is the other way around, and you have seen it with the flood of Chilean trolls that entered this forum not long ago. Chile is completely irrelevant to us.

Hassad always spoke decently of Chileans. He felt some sort of kinship and admired the good way they manage their country. But when Braiton and his troll countrymen started to bash Mexicans things changed.
