    Considering there are only 3 discussions there ( not counting the 1 spam and the 1 that should have gone to the Maintaince Section ) and I dont think there is one barely active russian forum member I think we should get rid of it. It is basiclly a waste of time and space.

    It's a subforum in off-topic, does it really hurt to be there? it is one tab.....
    I really don't care if it stays or not... but is it possible that you are bored?

    And I agree with Unholy.

    The Russian thread is largely unused, but not any kind of problem for anyone.

    Whilst I agree it is unused I also agree it is not hurting anyone.

    So what about all of the hate that the debate section got for being unused?

    The debate section was removed because it was unused, but the Russian sections should stay because it provides a place for potential russian members to talk.

    I think i made the same argument about the debate section. It didn't hurt anyone.
    I think it got so much hate because it was not a verry interactive form of forum. secluding everyone but the parties involved, but that is just a guess.

    I think we should keep the forums more clean. We should dig it in more, and we can always look at it again when we get more Russian members.

    We should change it into a foreign languages section, where every language would get its own thread. The dutch thread could go there as well because that thread is mostly filled with spam at the moment.

    Spam? There's not much spam in it, but yes, we do go pretty off topic. However, I think that's the main purpose. But, the Superthread is mostly designed to be about the Netherlands - in every way possible - and not to be a thread spoken in Dutch.

    I am pretty sure Stalin considered removing it in the past because we barely have any Russian members that use that forum. That being said I am ok with it staying as I was ok with the debate section staying.

    I remember the time when someone (not naming) wanted to remove the historical section of the forums because of the lack of good grammar, and thus the forums got mad.
