Well, people should know that their language should not stand in their way for getting som useful, or just fun, info from all of us here on psy-dk [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] I think most of us would gladly answer any english written post (be it that it was not a joke ofcourse, hehe) should one surface on the board. Especially 'Christiania' is something many foreigners have often _heard_ about, but often only _know_ very little about. "Is it really true they have a public street named pusherstreet?", "Is it true that they sell drugs out in the open?", "Arent Christianite's drooling and dangerous wackos, because of them doing all those drugs all the time?", "You dont have to be 21 to drink??? REALLY???" (thats always a major killer [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] ) Here we could probably contribute to the benefit of our common cause (to create awareness that drugs often arent as bad as the government keeps telling us), with some good and sober danish insight into how things _really_ are.
English boards with similar content as psy-dk already exists, so personaly I dont see any need for us all to begin speaking english. But thats no reason for not having a page that quickly explain; that english questions are welcome just as much as danish. Maybe a link just below the main-forum link (the one on the left, below the psy logo), that takes international users to an info page, with a brief explanation of things. Something simple, so they quickly know where they are and what they can do here.
But it is very important I think, that we mainly stay danish, so people dont lose out if they dont speak the english language (or only speak it lightly). I think especially our youngest users might find themselves rather less helpfully informed if the only danish languaged source of info, where to come from the danish department of health.
